Do professional painters wash walls before painting?

Paul Gordon Staff

Yes, painters clean walls before painting them. This helps to ensure that the paint adheres properly to the surface and produces a smooth, even finish. Cleaning the walls before painting is especially important if the walls are dirty, or greasy or if they have not been painted in a long time, as these contaminants can interfere with the adhesion of the paint.
