Dampen a sponge in the diluted ammonia solution. Wash the walls with the mixture, beginning at the bottom to avoid drip lines. Remove dirt, dust and any stains that will prevent the stickers from adhering to the wall.

Dry the wall surface with clean cloths. Allow the wall to air-dry for 24 hours to ensure all moisture is gone.
