Can I use Spray Mop on walls and vertical surfaces?

Yes. Spray Mop works on most upright surfaces around the home: painted walls, doors and door frames, skirting boards, tiles and splashbacks, cupboard fronts, and wardrobes. Best suited for light to moderate cleaning rather than heavy scrubbing. Always spot test in an inconspicuous area first, especially on painted surfaces or freshly painted walls. Use gentle pressure and avoid oversaturating the surface.

⚠ Take care on delicate finishes

Best for light to moderate cleaning rather than heavy scrubbing. For delicate or freshly painted walls, take extra care and avoid oversaturating the surface. Drips can leave streaks on painted finishes.

How do I use Spray Mop vertically?

Always spot test in an inconspicuous area first, especially on painted surfaces. Lightly mist the wall with Atomiser Spray Bottle, then use Spray Mop for a gentle wipe. For a lighter feel while reaching higher areas, remove the bottle from Spray Mop and use the mop pad to wipe the wall. Keep the Spray Mop upright when using its spray trigger. Use gentle, smooth upward or downward motions, and wipe with clean water if needed.

✓ Four steps

1

Spot test first. Pick an inconspicuous area, especially on painted surfaces, before working across the whole wall.

2

Mist the wall. For painted walls, lightly spray Universal Cleaner with Atomiser Spray Bottle before wiping.

3

Wipe with Spray Mop. Use gentle, smooth upward or downward strokes. For a lighter feel on higher areas, remove the bottle from Spray Mop and use its pad to wipe the wall.

4

Rinse if needed. Wipe over with clean water on painted walls to remove any cleaner residue and prevent streaks.


Is there a better tool for painted walls?

For a controlled application on painted walls, lightly mist Universal Cleaner with Atomiser Spray Bottle, then use Spray Mop for a gentle wipe. Its fine mist helps apply only what the area needs, with less product left over. For a lighter feel while reaching higher areas, remove the bottle from Spray Mop and use its pad to wipe. Atomiser Spray Bottle sprays at any angle, including upside down, making it easy to reach the top of a wall or under shelves.

✓ For more control on painted walls

Lightly mist Universal Cleaner onto the wall with Atomiser Spray Bottle, then use Spray Mop for a gentle wipe. The fine mist gives you control over where the cleaner goes and helps use only what you need. For a lighter feel while working up high, remove the bottle from Spray Mop and use its pad to wipe. Atomiser Spray Bottle sprays at any angle, including upside down.
