    Default Is a washboy suitable for wall cleaning?

    I am in the process of tiling my bathroom walls (only), please can you tell me if it is worth investing in a washboy, and if they are suitable for walls? I have another couple of DIY projects where it may be used (again for walls), but I just wondered about suitability, because these items always seem to be listed as floor cleaning tools.

    Thanks, in advance, for any advice you can give.

    I`d use the sponge it comes with! Using the washboy may scratch the tiles! (sorry, in just one of those moods!) Yes Lianne it`s a fantastic bit of kit but get a decent one, i use a Karl Dahm and it is excellent, worth the money
