   A clean wall is crucial for a quality paint job. Start by vacuuming any dust from the walls, especially along the baseboards and crown molding. After vacuuming, perform a quick wipe-down of the walls with a damp rag to remove any remaining dust or light dirt. If your walls have oil, grease, or other stubborn residue, prepare a solution of trisodium phosphate (TSP) according to the product's instructions. Wear protective gloves and eye protection when working with TSP. Wash the affected areas thoroughly with the TSP solution, then rinse the walls with clean water using a damp rag. Allow the walls to dry completely before proceeding.
