How to Remove Vaporizer Steam Marks From Walls

Colds that cause nasal stuffiness are common during the winter months. Although vaporizers are useful at night to keep nasal passages open, they can leave steam behind on the bedroom walls. This form of condensation must not be allowed to remain on the bedroom walls, as moisture provides mold and mildew with the perfect habitat they need to grow. Cleaning the walls is a fairly simple task.

  • Medium-sized bucket
  • 1 gallon hot water
  • 1 cup non-sudsy ammonia
  • 1/4 cup Borax

Instructions

    • 1

      Pour 1 gallon of hot water in a medium-sized bucket.

    • 2

      Add 1 cup of non-sudsy ammonia, 1/4 cup of borax and 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar. Stir until the borax is dissolved.

      Test an inconspicuous area of your wall by sponging a small amount of the homemade cleaning liquid over it. It should be fine, but if it causes any discoloration at all do not use it.

    • 4

      Wipe down the walls. Dip a sponge into the cleaning mixture and start wiping downward from the top of the wall near the ceiling. Re-wet the sponge as necessary.

      Dry the walls immediately after washing with a lint-free towel. Setting a few fans in the room will also help speed up the drying process.
