Despite the antistatic and protective impregnations of suspended ceilings, they still need to be washed. IN living rooms It is advisable to do this 1-2 times a year, and in the kitchen - every 2-3 months as greasy deposits and soot appear. Fortunately, cleaning ceilings is not so troublesome; cleaning does not require additional expenses and doesn't take much time. In this material we will tell you how and what to wash suspended ceilings(glossy, matte, satin and fabric).
How to wash a suspended ceiling at home - a universal method
At home, manufacturers recommend washing suspended ceilings only with special products or soapy water. In most cases, such cleaning is enough to clean the canvas from dust, construction dirt, greasy or nicotine deposits, and soot. In this step by step instructions we will tell you about the universal and only cleaning method that is approved by manufacturers of tensile structures.
You will need:
- A regular mop with bristles, or better yet, a flat mop;
- Clean and soft microfiber or flannel rags (2 pcs.);
- Basin with warm water(but not hot!);
- Spray bottle (optional);
- Liquid soap;
- For greater convenience, it is advisable to prepare a stepladder.
Our advice: The easiest way to wash ceilings is with a mop with a moving platform and a microfiber attachment, which is also called a telescopic mop (pictured). The price of such a mop is quite high - from 2 thousand rubles, but it is light, nimble and already has a nozzle that can be washed several times.
Washing a stretch ceiling with a telescopic mop is more convenient and safer for the canvas than any other
Step 1. Dilute a weak soap solution from liquid soap and warm water. If you use a spray bottle, then the following proportions are suitable: for 1 glass of water, 4 drops of liquid soap.
Step 2. Place a cloth soaked in soapy water (but not hot!) on the mop and start cleaning. Start washing the suspended ceiling with a mop, moving from one corner to another, systematically moving through the entire canvas. If the ceiling area is very large, then you can divide it into several sections, each of which should be washed moving from the walls to the center of the canvas.
- If you use a spray bottle, you can distribute the product evenly onto one section, then wash it by hand or by mopping with a clean, damp cloth. Next you should move to another area. The principle of movement of the mop is still the same - from the walls to the center of the canvas.
It’s good if you have a stepladder - it will allow you to manually remove local stains on the canvas, operate the mop more deftly and see the dirt better. A stepladder is also needed if the ceilings are high.
- Avoid applying too much pressure to avoid rubbing dirt or dust into the blade and damaging it. Particular care must be taken when washing suspended ceilings installed close to the base (for example, at a level of 3-4 cm). In the latter case, it is better not to use a mop at all, but to wash the ceiling with your hands, climbing on a stepladder.
Washing suspended ceilings with your hands is safer than with a mop
Step 3. If necessary, use one of the home or special products described in the next chapter to remove complex stains.
Step 4. If you wish, you can play it safe against streaks and go over the canvas again with a mop and a clean, damp cloth.
Step 5. After finishing cleaning, be sure to wipe the stretch ceiling with a clean, dry cloth to get rid of any remaining product, and most importantly, stains. Essentially, this stage is polishing the canvas.
Key rules:
- To wash suspended ceilings, it is permissible to use only soft, lint-free rags (microfiber or flannel). Brushes and hard sponges should not be used.
- Strictly prohibited Use cleaning products for cleaning ceilings that contain: acetone, alkalis, solvents, chlorine, abrasive particles, as well as any washing powders, laundry soap, mustard, soda.
- Tensile structures cannot be washed with hot water.
- If you plan to wash the ceiling by hand, then before you start cleaning, be sure to remove the rings (especially those with stones) so as not to damage the film.
How else can you wash suspended ceilings?
Despite the fact that manufacturers categorically do not recommend cleaning suspended ceilings with anything other than soapy water or special products (sold in household and construction stores, in companies producing suspended ceilings), practice shows that sometimes they can be replaced:
- Window cleaner (ammonia based)– this product is good because it allows you to wash suspended ceilings (except matte and fabric ones) without leaving streaks. It also copes well with greasy deposits, soot, and local dirt. It is safest to use colorless liquids (without dyes in the composition).
- Dishwashing liquid– it is as neutral as soap, but copes better with greasy deposits, which is important for washing suspended ceilings in the kitchen.
- A solution of warm water and 10% ammonia (in a ratio of 9:1)— suitable for washing only glossy and satin stretch ceilings (NOT suitable for matte ceilings!). They can effectively remove grease and nicotine deposits, soot, food stains and splashes, as well as remove stains after basic cleaning. After applying the solution, the canvas must be wiped dry.
Test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area before cleaning. Apply it first, then wipe clean and dry. If after 10 minutes the treated area has not faded, faded, deformed and remains streak-free, then the selected product can be used.
Regular cleaning helps keep your home clean. But how often do housewives look at the ceiling? But the plane also attracts dust, particles of debris, plus water evaporation, which is especially abundant in the kitchen. Let's figure out what and how to wash the ceiling before painting water-based paint, and also in the process spring cleaning. Let's consider the compositions that can be used, and which are better to avoid, folk remedies to remove particularly difficult contaminants.
Coloring is the most budget option renovation of the decor, which also does not take much time. Anyone can do the job - the technology is extremely simple and does not require any experience other than the ability to hold a roller in your hands.
Other advantages of the water-based composition include the following:
- environmental friendliness - the composition does not contain harmful substances, so you can paint with water-based emulsion even in a child’s room;
- ease of application;
- low cost of compounds;
- efficiency of work.
And you shouldn’t think that the water-based emulsion is applied only to concrete and wood - when finishing a gypsum board ceiling, it is also recommended to paint the sheets with a water-based composition as a finishing touch.
The downside of the paint is that it is not resistant to water. The water emulsion is easily washed away with ordinary water, but this is both a disadvantage and an advantage, because you can quickly prepare the ceilings for changing the decor. The paint does not require frequent cleaning, except in areas where the level of contamination is quite high, for example in the kitchen. This is where you will have to choose how to wash a ceiling painted with water-based paint in such a way as to remove combustion products and grease, but without damaging the coating.
Products used for cleaning ceilings
When thinking about how to clean a kitchen ceiling painted with water-based paint, evaluate the degree of contamination. A warm soap solution is suitable from ready-made products. And you can prepare it either from dishwashing compounds or from a piece of laundry soap grated into shavings. Usually, a concentration of 1:15 (1 part product to 15 parts warm water) is enough to wash a ceiling painted with stains and stains. But if the water-based composition is not supplemented with acrylic and silicone components, it is impossible to clean the ceiling surface - you will have to re-paint it.
For particularly stubborn stains, baking soda is useful. For 8 liters of non-hot liquid, add 0.3 liters of soap composition (for washing dishes) and 3-4 tbsp. sodium bicarbonate. Stir everything and wash the surface. Even stubborn stains are removed.
Advice! If we consider how to wash a ceiling painted with water-based paint, which has not been washed at all for 3-4 years, then no means will help - remove the paint and paint it again. In addition to the fact that dirt is firmly ingrained into the decor, there is a risk of mold and mildew forming under the paint layer - this must be eliminated.
Sometimes housewives leave the soap-soda mixture on the surface for about a quarter of an hour, then wash it off. This technique works well on the walls, but the soot may not leave the ceiling; the gray tint will remain, and it will not be distributed over the entire plane, but in patches - it looks very ugly. Therefore, it is better not to take risks.
Ready detergents for cleaning ceilings:
- Fairy, Cinderella for washing dishes. They cope well with dirt and grease drops that have not dried out.
- Mister Muscle for painted surfaces. A liquid that removes stubborn stains.
- Crystal, other glass cleaners with ammonia. Removes soot and adds shine. It is important to rinse the surface thoroughly after application and polish with a soft cloth.
- Tikkurila ceiling cleaning product. Special powder composition, which copes with particularly difficult stains.
- Altezza – spray for cleaning suspended ceilings. The product removes any dirt very well and gently removes dried greasy spots and drops.
What should not be used when cleaning ceilings? If you are looking at options on how to wash a painted ceiling, do not pick up abrasives, hard brushes or other scratching things/substances. Even the back side of a washing sponge can ruin the surface, so only foam rubber, rags or a microfiber cloth - it cleans well and absorbs moisture without leaving streaks. It is also not recommended to use toxic and caustic substances; they corrode the decor, leaving bald spots - the ceiling will have to be sanded and repainted.
Materials, tools for washing and cleaning the ceiling
What may be useful for the work:
- ladder;
- container for cleaning solution;
- mop with soft cover;
- rags;
- a brush with soft bristles for removing dust;
- soap, soap composition;
- water.
You should also protect your hands and face from droplets. Cobwebs in the corners can be easily removed with a mop, vacuum cleaner, or broom with a clean, damp cloth wrapped around it. If you remove the dust efficiently, sometimes this is enough to avoid washing the ceilings.
Preparing a Painted Ceiling for Renewal and Repainting
Knowing what and how to wash a painted ceiling, it is not difficult to cope with the procedure. However, it is impossible to do without surface preparation.
If the surface is being prepared for painting, it is permissible to use more aggressive agents to clean stains:
- rub the dirt with a paste of baking soda and water;
- try rubbing it off with an eraser.
After such procedures, try to wash the surface again. If that doesn't help, use baking soda and how to wash water-based ceiling with soda solution, you already know too: for 7-8 liters of not hot, but warm liquid, 0.3 liters of soap composition and 3-4 tbsp. regular baking soda - stir and wash. If stains of rot, mold or fungus form, be sure to treat the surface with antiseptics.
Advice! To clean moldy areas, use a strong saline solution. For 1 liter of warm water, take 4-5 tbsp. salt. Stir until the grains of salt disperse, saturate the affected area, then wash with soapy water, rinse and, after drying, treat with an antiseptic.
Launched ceiling surfaces that have not been cleaned for a long time and are heavily affected by mold and fungus cannot be washed off with salt. A solution of copper sulfate comes in handy here. Wash the ceiling wearing gloves and a protective mask on your face. After washing with vitriol, rinse the surface clean water, dry and also treat with an antiseptic. After drying, you can paint with water-based emulsion.
Note! When preparing ceilings for new painting, do not be afraid to add a lot of soap - it is permissible to use the compositions in a higher concentration than during normal cleaning. The main thing is to rinse the surface with clean water and let the ceiling dry after washing before applying paint.
Knowing how to wash a ceiling painted with water-based emulsion, coping with the task of renovation will not be difficult. But if after cleaning you are not satisfied with the results, do not be upset: wash the surface, dry it, paint in 1-2 layers, and the ceiling will be clean and beautiful again

Very often you have to deal with such a thick and dense layer of whitewash that you literally have to tear it off the surface, applying maximum effort and time.
Some amateurs believe that it is not at all necessary to remove the old coating from the surface of the ceiling or walls, and that it is a waste of time and effort. Of course, a beautiful stretch ceiling will completely hide:
- fungal colonies;
- rusty stains;

If the cause of the stain is a crack, you should tap it with a hammer, remove everything that does not adhere well around the defect, and then repair the crack cement mortar. Moreover deep cracks It is better to process in stages. At the beginning, you should grout the deeper part and only after 8-10 hours do the final grouting and leveling of the entire surface of the ceiling or wall.

After any cleaning, the ceiling surface must be thoroughly dried with a dry and clean lint-free cloth.
A few secrets
- Cleaning the surface of soot should be done extremely carefully and carefully, as the film can be damaged in the process. Choose the right cleaning products. The surface should barely be touched.
- When cleaning, pay attention to the presence of seams and joints. In this case, it is necessary to wash only along the seam, and not across it.
- To return the ceiling to its characteristic shine, after cleaning it is necessary to wipe the film with a solution of alcohol or ammonia. It is also possible to use vodka, which is diluted in water in a ratio of 1:10.
- To remove heavier stains, such as paint marks, do not rely on own strength, especially if you are not sure about them. In this case, it is better to trust the professionals and seek help from a special cleaning company.
To avoid the appearance of new and abundant contamination, several precautions should be taken:
- hang a horizontal curtain in the bathroom to prevent water splashes from scattering;
- over hob It is necessary to install a powerful hood in the kitchen;

If we are talking about dirt, and not just dust, then it is best to use special means for washing linens. They were developed precisely for these purposes. Please consult with the seller before making a purchase. If you need to remove dirt from the glue, it is best to wait for it to dry completely and carefully remove the film by prying it with a sharp object.
It is prohibited to use glass cleaners on textiles, as they contain substances that can destroy the structure or affect the color.
In conclusion, we can say that when cleaning suspended ceilings, it is necessary to select the right detergents. Everything will depend on the degree and type of pollution, as well as on the material of the ceiling.
