Most people want to jump right into painting and get that new colour onto their walls. They do not take the time to clean up before hand, but cleaning is extremely important. Cleaning the grime off of walls and surfaces prior to painting will aid in the adhesion and life of the paint. If proper cleaning is not done, the paint has a better chance of peeling or even cracking.
You don't have to spend money on dozens of cleaning products. Talk to a dealer or designer and get the right one available in the market. Mix this solution in a bucket or container and use any clean rag or sponge to wipe down surfaces prior to painting. Clean all walls, trims, doors, and window frames. Before you clean, check walls and woodwork of the room about to be painted. Look at the room in daylight and on a sunny day. See for cracks and chips and repair them accordingly.
Allow for ample time to clean and prepare beforehand. Give yourself enough time to gather supplies: brushes, rollers, pans, old sheets to cover furniture, a ladder and masking tape for painting around windows and trim. Don't skip on the pre-painting duties - have a plan and stick to it. Two painters will make the job go faster, so get the best help.
Cleaning up the grime from all the surfaces will ensure an easier clean up after the painting job is finished, leaving you with more time to enjoy the beauty of your newly painted room.

You
have finally decided to change that white in the living room to eggshell... Or maybe that pink you loved so much in your bedroom isn't so pink anymore. Whatever the case, the decision has been made to paint. While many people feel that they are experts at interior painting, there is an important step that is usually forgotten: cleaning all surfaces in the room about to be painted. Painting is one of the top home improvement projects done by homeowners, and interior painting is a project that anyone can take on. 
Cleaning tips to begin a painting job: 
If there are no chips in the woodwork of a room, and you plan on painting it the same colour, you may be able to wash the woodwork and forget the paint. A thorough cleaning with a solution can freshen up the look of woodwork as well as a fresh coat of paint. 
Take the time to clean the room's windows. This will get rid of excess dirt and dust in the room and also allow you to enjoy the true look of your painting job! Don't forget to clean the doors and light fixtures, too.
