Cat Dander On The Wall
Going through some question from the weekend.
I moved in to an apartment where the previous owner had a cat. Does cat dander stick to the wall?
Yes. In fact cat dander sticks to everything.
Pet dander is so light that it easily floats throughout an area getting on furniture, carpets, walls, clothes and everything else.
We recommend that you either paint the walls or clean them. I know painting is not always an option so let's talk about cleaning. You can scrub the walls with soap and water if you think the paint will hold up. Usually will not work well with a flat or eggshell paint.
The other option is to spray some Allerseach ADS anti-allergen spray on a rag and wipe the walls down with that. One thing that works well is using a swiffer mop (learned that from one of our customers) Use the dry heads or better yet take an old teeshirt and pin it on the head. Cheaper and you can wash the shirt when you are done.
Wishing you the best of health
