Question

Can I use sugar soap on emulsion?

Community Answer

Yes, you can do this, as long as you rinse it off with clean warm water and a sponge or cloth. Try a microfiber cloth for both washing the paintwork and rinsing the paintwork.

Question

Can I use sugar to remove paint?

Community Answer

The idea of sugar soap is to clean walls, not to strip paint, so no. Try using a paint scraper and sandpaper, and possibly a liquid paint stripper.

Question

Can I use sugar soap with my bare hands and without gloves?

Community Answer

Sugar soap is an extremely harsh cleaner made to strip surfaces of all grease. Getting sugar soap on your hands could irritate and dry out your skin. It is best to wear gloves to protect yourself, as working with sugar soap can get messy.

Question

Do I need to use sugar soap before painting walls?

Community Answer

Yes! It is the best prep option for painting walls. Soapy water with ordinary detergent could also be used, but may be less effective at removing grease and getting the walls dry and smooth enough for painting.
