What exactly is Spot cleaning of Wall Mean?
It is hard to say exactly, since there is no hard definition on it, but generally, a spot cleaning of wall would be when there are only 2 to 4 small areas that need to be cleaned and also takes no more than 10 minutes to clean. for example, fingerprints, some crayon marks, and maybe some food splatter in the kitchen and one or two areas. The important thing to keep in mind is that a spot cleaning of the walls shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes in total. A spot cleaning is considered as a touch up and not full cleaning of walls. If it takes more than 10 minutes or so to clean all the walls at the property, the client will be entering into wall washing and additional costs will apply.
