Summary
To clean a ceiling before painting, begin by thoroughly dusting it to remove cobwebs and loose dirt using a broom or duster. Then, wash the ceiling with a mixture of water and dish soap, using a microfiber cloth or a soft paint roller to gently scrub away stains. For stubborn stains or mold, a solution of hydrogen peroxide can be sprayed on the affected areas and dabbed with a sponge. After washing, wipe down the ceiling and allow it to air dry completely before proceeding with painting. Remember to cover furniture and floors with plastic sheeting or tarps to protect them from dust and cleaning solutions.
