Yes, I'm afraid so. The semi-annual wood blind cleaning is staring me in the face and I'm not enthused.
Housecleaning when I was a kid involved mainly cleaning the wall of most of the rooms: they were wallpapered and accumulated a layer of oily dirt due to our heating plant (we figured). We used a product called "Wall-vet" to clean them. It came in a can, felt like mushy clay, but was dry, stank of a hydrocarbon filler like benzine. You could squeeze it into shapes, after rubbing it over the wallpaper, concealing the rubbed-off grime within. We are going back here very long.....perhaps to ~ 1950. Anyone remember this stiff? I could find no images or reference to it. Frank
Never heard of that, Frank. Sounds similar to a clay bar, which is used to remove contaminants from automotive paint. Hope it didn't contain benzene!!
I've heard of it, but we never had wallpaper. My mother decided we would wash the (painted) walls. Who does that now? I've vacuumed the walls though.
@Nancy Hart - Ha ha -- I wouldn't object to Bruce doing my cleaning as long as he sang a song while dusting
