How to Clean Walls After Holiday Guests Make a Mess

The holidays are meant for laughter, food, and family—not mystery stains on your walls. If your holiday gathering turned chaotic (think heated political debates, flying gravy, or kids with sticky hands), don’t worry. Another Brad Creation has you covered.

Here’s how to clean your walls quickly and safely—without damaging your paint or your sanity.


Step 1: Inspect Your Walls

Before cleaning, take a walk through your space. Common holiday wall messes include:

  • Food splatter from big dinners
  • Fingerprints from kids and guests
  • Scuff marks from chairs or shoes
  • Grease or drink stains near dining areas

Identifying the mess helps you choose the right cleaning method.

Step 2: Use the Right Wall-Cleaning Supplies

For most painted walls, you’ll need:

  • Warm water
  • Mild dish soap
  • Microfiber cloth or soft sponge
  • Baking soda for stubborn stains
  • Magic eraser for scuffs (use gently)

Avoid harsh chemicals—they can remove paint along with the mess.

Step 3: Clean Gently

Mix warm water with a small amount of dish soap. Lightly wipe the wall using circular motions. This removes most holiday food stains and fingerprints without damaging the surface.

Step 4: Tackle Tough Stains

For grease or dried-on spots, apply a baking soda paste. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean. For scuff marks, a magic eraser works well—just don’t scrub too hard.

When to Call a Professional

If stains won’t come off, paint starts fading, or the walls look worn, it may be time for professional cleaning or repainting. Another Brad Creation specializes in restoring walls and interiors so your home looks fresh year-round.
