That would ultimately depend on the type of paint on your wall and how much grease you are trying to clean, but the Simple Green Crystal is a degreaser. I always dilute before using and then try using on a small area first.

I would be careful about using this product wet to scrub the baseboards. This is because the duster is large and some of the dirt being removed from the baseboards may get tracked on to your painted walls. If your walls are painted with flat paint they can get dirt stains that may be more work to clean.

I used these on oak cabinets that were probably installed in the 80s. We were in a vacation rental that we were leasing for ski season and I just got to grossed out by how greasy the cabinets were. I used it, definitely cleaned it, but I think this was more due to lack of maintenance, the stain on the cabinets came off with the grease. It definitely felt drier and abrasive to the touch but at the same time, it looked a lot cleaner. The landlady never complained to us about it.

It does leave an oily residue behind. However, painting over spots with Kilz and then repainting eliminates the problem.

I have used this in several rooms, one with whinny the poo painted on the wall and it left no stain. Just be sure to spray from a distance and not close up.

Honestly no. It stays as white as it was when you got it as long as you use it normally i.e no greasy or sticky hands on it. If you have to clean it just use a clean cloth and tap water to wipe. Avoid using chemical cleaners.

Yes. Cleaning oil-based primer took forever to clean because you must use mineral spirits and be sure to get every bit of it off the interior parts. Cleaning latex-based primer and paint out of the sprayer with soapy water was much easier but still time-consuming, especially since I tried to get every bit of primer/paint off the outside of the sprayer and pump in case I want to sell it if we ever finish the kitchen-painting project. I am an almost elderly homemaker, amateur painter, and I was able to use it successfully.

No. It is not an oil but a liquid wax that penetrates and seals. ( I suspect it has some tung oil in the formula) It dries quite hard and resists water bit don't leave a wet sponge or soap dish with water residue in the same place or you will have some discoloration.Apply thinly, let set a bit, wipe off excess and repeat again in 16-24 hours until you like the level of sheen. It beautifully brings out any irridescent qualities in the grain. I've used in on Ikea butcher block counters with very good results. Does not pick up dust and grime as mineral oil can sometimes do.

I wouldn't recommend it. Test it first if you try: I have had it take paint. I'd try some other cleaner first for painted surfaces.

I can't honestly say that i know. I don't want the paint off. I would try a chemical stripper.

Probably yes. This stuff works very well as long as there is no grease or dirt on the surface to be sprayed. I will buy it again.

No, I have not. I used it for concrete, and it did not work. My best option to date has been vinegar. It will take grease out of almost anything.

I think so. I have used it in a number of places on my car and my motorcycle and have not seen any evidence of any crazing or dulling of surfaces. If I recall correctly, Consumer Reports said this is the only cleaner you need for dirty greasy areas. It is a "go to" product that replaces the need for for a half dozen special cleaners.

I used it on oil painting and it worked for me. I would say make sure you mix the solution before use and first try it in a small area and wait for it to get dry and see the result before applying a large surface.

No, it won't. It does leave a small greasy spot for a day or two until it is fully dry but it doesn't stain. Also try to apply most of it to the skin, that helps keep the greasiness of it down.

It would probably tear the paint off, I am not sure, I've never tried it inside the house, but it does have a strong tar odor to it, especially when it gets warm and the sticky side is very sticky.

I have not used this to clean Oil/Grease other than what was on the floor near my stove. I imagine since this is oxygenated bleach it would work but I would suggest looking at the company website to see what they suggest. One key thing to using this product is to make sure it is completely dissolved in warm water and to use it immediately. Allowing it to soak for a few minutes also helps "bleach" the dirt away. Good luck!
