ANSWER: Not necessary to go through this job every time. Often it’s plenty merely to wipe off any accumulations of dust in corners or around moldings. However,. if there’s the slightest trace of grease,.,then it's far safer to give the walls a good cleaning. Paint won't stick over a layer of grease. Kitchen walls are especially~ suspect where grease is concerned. :
