Country Living has listed three steps on how to best protect your feature wall before it’s too late.
1) First to help protect against humidity make sure you apply a sealant or acrylic-based paint to the exposed brick and mortar.
2) When dusting be sure to use only microfiber cloths or better yet your vacuum’s brush attachment.
3) For a truly deep clean, they recommend mixing just a little water with equal parts salt and mild dishwashing or castile soap. Scrub the paste onto the wall with a stiff brush and let sit for ten minutes. To finish, use a wet sponge and bucket of water to rinse the homemade solution off the wall.
