How often to wash stretch ceilings?
The frequency of washing the stretch ceiling depends on how quickly it becomes soiled. So, in the kitchen on the ceiling, the smallest particles of water and fat formed during cooking are usually deposited. Often remain stains from carbonated water or champagne, if you slop the bottle. In living rooms, the main source of dirt on the stretch ceiling is dust, which "likes" to settle at the joints of the ceiling levels. Therefore, the ceilings should be washed as they are contaminated, at least once a year during the spring cleaning.
