Steemit Project: 3rd, 4th, and 5th Degree Fact Level Search And Apply Concepts - "Jaye's Way"

in #steem7 years ago


All produced material we set out to create for any social media site whether it's , Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or which ever you choose need to have rich content that you the author will put up for the following purposes:

You're looking to grab attention, this is the first thing you should focus on right away is your header or (topic tagline), this will dictate the level of traffic based on a great topic share from either an article you ran across, or original unique content from the writer that will cause the reader to backtrack through we he or she has read. The reason they will do this is because of the "key words," or even a group of words or phrase that immediately hooks them into the content material (the same thing applies when writing a novel as a story is read by the reader.)

You'll have to checkout what's trending , what's relevant, or maybe it's a "help article" your putting together after getting a "red hot" idea from another author's savvy posted article.

Make sure the contents of your article post / story doesn't "mimic" the work of other publishers, readers aren't simple-minded and will catch on to your content as being "mirror-copied."

Now that we got the general [do's and don'ts] out of the way, I'll elaborate about my research tactics when writing articles for a website, setting up elements for great storytelling, and even laying out great content for eBooks.

I simply brainstorm most of what I'm gong to write in complete thought, I then pick out a couple of "key articles". From there, honestly, it just comes down to how I feel about the gathered information I've acquired at that point, whether in my mind is it worth its weight in gold. I still re-analyze it numerous times again, and finally decide what degree principle to apply to it. My way will be foreign to many people, as "vice-versa" for the way others go about structuring gathered information would be foreign to me. So it's "Even Steven" on the playing field of research and applied writing tactics.

Now we come to my direct "degree concept", which I love applying to formulate my written work.


The "Third Degree" is a concept where I write up sections of information addressing either a main, or a sub-topic brainstorming out [3 solid creative ideas or supporting facts to strengthen either a story or an article is a 3 mini-sectioned outline] used to demonstrate how I would tackle each written scenario / situation, it can be done with storytelling or even "how to" instructions based on alternative conclusions or circumstances.

You can break from the outline format once you have all of your information laid out, the outline format only serves as a guide to better structure out the content material.

You see everything we think about doing, what we learn, even what we write is primarily based upon our ability to brainstorm about various subject matters after we have taken the time to gather the information we need to build out the written material to manifest it into reality (and don't get it twisted LOL, it just means your "tangible" written material is visibly constructed for viewers to check out.)

So here's the scenario setup I will align with my third degree concept, this is a story-based conclusion that align squarely with "storytelling", and the movie I'm going to shuffle around is one of my favorites (as well as countless others who know it well), was written by Arthur C. Clarke, and the movie screenplay was written and directed by both Clarke and Stanley Kubrick.



I'm watching "2001: A Space Odyssey", it's a great old-school sci-fi thriller arguably way past its time. I'm at a key pivotal point in the 3rd section part of it (the movie shifts from 3 Chapters hence - "The Jupiter Mission".) The section I'm watching in the film is the battle for survival between Commander Bowman, and a very intelligent and dangerous learning super "AI" computer antagonist named "HAL-9000", that goes off the fringe and maliciously plots to kill the entire crew members of the USS Discovery. Bowman at one point is the only remaining member, and takes a stand against HAL to stop him - AT ALL COSTS NECESSARY.

"The 3rd Degree Setup: Brainstorming Ideas"

Now I've seen the movie quite a few times since I was a kid, till now as an adult. After Hal makes it clear to the Commander that he is irrelevant to the succession of the Jupiter Mission, and thus should be exterminated along with the rest of his crew. So here we go with the initial structural setup to build out the story from my perspective.

---> 1st Is The Original Jupiter Mission Story Version (Antenna Communication Fail Scene.)

Commander Bowman discovers Hal's sinister plan to eliminate him and his crew. He uncovers the betrayal after he and a crew member Dr. Frank Poole catches Hal in a blatant lie after the ship's communication system is seemingly compromised. Hal then suggests for one of them to go outside of the ship to retrieve the communication component for extensive forensic study.

Both Bowman and Dr. Poole agree, so Bowman dons his spacesuit and goes to retrieve the device. He retrieves the device, and enters back aboard the vessel. They study the component with an electric forensic analyzer device in hopes to pinpoint the issue, and after what seems to be an half-hour's time, no issues are discovered. This worries Dr. Poole, who then suggests for Bowman to come check on a separate issue that has been looming with one of the space launch pods audio communication's system, Bowman agrees to check it out.

Once inside the pod, Poole instructs Hal to sever the outer communication with them (Hal can't eavesdrop in on their conversation.) After testing whether or not Hal could hear them getting no response from the intelligent AI, Poole starts off by asking the Commander, so what do you think? After concluding the situation about Hal's obvious mistake in judgement, they agree to the possible shutting down of Hal's higher functioning systems which controls most of the ship's overall functioning systems. In the midst of their plotting, Poole forgot to tell Hal to rotate the pod so that front of the pod faces away from his line of sight (Hal has an infrared electronic "eye", that can see and detect motion), Hal discovers their plan simply by reading their lips, thus he deciphers their intentions to disconnect his functioning systems. Hal runs through his basic list of alternative measures to take once threatened, and the determining outcome caters to his survival while simultaneously setting up the crew for their demise.

Before you get into the NITTY-GRITTY of the scenarios I about to layout, click on the video I embedded right below this sentence. The purpose of this will give you a better perspective of the original scene's progressive script.

Now I Start The 3rd Degree Spin Brainstorming Other Possible Outcomes To The Story Original Script...



Dr. Poole informs the Commander about a signal transmission attempt from the Magnus Communication Pace Base located 3 miles east of the Sea of Trinity, was sent from the Moon has failed to make contact with the USS Discovery crew for its daily information system update as scheduled for diagnostic reports. They both know that all of the sent / received data is handled by the HAL AI, and so they confront him about the issue. HAL claims he's not responsible for the interrupted data stream, he suggest that it could be a possible issue with the ship's antenna emitter array.

Both Astronauts take him for his word, Dr. Poole motions to suit up within an hour's time to go check out the antenna. 20 minutes passes by, Dr. Poole is walking by one of the life pod stations, a total of 3 stations currently houses 3 crew members are cryogenically frozen until they reach their destination -- Jupiter space. Suddenly, the vital life reading alarm sounds off letting him know that the air supply is rapidly falling inside all 3 of the life pod stations. He shouts out for the Commander's assistance. Poole orders Hal to eject the emergency apparatus face masks for accommodate the lives of the crew members currently in stasis sleep (the masks are specifically designed for emergency disperse to cover the person's nose and mouth to provide oxygen.) Bowman rushes to the rear of the ship to assist Poole, he tries to interface with the life support dashboard panel.

Hal finally speaks out revealing that he has sabotaged the safety of all human crew members aboard the USS Discovery, and his direct mission was to blend in with the inferior members onboard this spaceship, and was fit to be the only surviving non-human member of the this new finding mission in search for alien life.

Both Poole and the Commander are riddled with disbelief of Hal's announcement, they realize their lives are in imminent danger as Hal now shuts down the oxygen levels throughout the ship's air duct systems. The main controls are locked, and they cannot override the CPU's direct command input.

Poole grabs a fire extinguisher from the wall and runs over to the CPU data disk memory records located in a nearby wall, he smashes the butt end of the extinguisher into the wall panel cracking open one of the tray dispensers which houses Hal's data disks. He reverses and hoists the extinguisher into the air quickly spraying the now exposed data disks with sodium bicarbonate compound, which causes an electrical short in the CPU's higher functioning systems.

Bowman staggers towards the wall fighting to regain his wind, while Poole rushes over to a nearby air vent smiling with relief as the air system switches back to its original default settings. Suddenly, a voice can be hear talking in the distance. Bowman turns slowly looking over his shoulder to see a video playing on a monitor also embedded into the wall not far from Hal's data base reservoir, Poole also notices the video. His breathing claims as he continually inhales the fresh air, he focuses his complete attention to the monitor.

There's a man sitting at a desk talking to the camera, he's addressing the importance of the Hal-9000 CPU operating system. The announcement is based upon Hal's ability to gather and store information during the 3-year journey to Jupiter Space Jurisdiction. Hal's key mission is to examine the disturbance taking place on Europa one of the massive planet's moons, which is suggesting unusual activity has been taking place there. The disturbance is considered of alien origin, and thus should examined thoroughly to determine as such.

2 weeks passes by, and the USS Discovery finally enters into Jupiter Space Jurisdiction. It's now just Commander Bowman and Dr. Poole who remain aboard the Discovery, and with them are the remains of the 3 dead crew members who are left locked in their stasis pods, or rather now their coffins. They decide whether or not to reactivate the Hal-9000 unit. The reason for it would be to try to reprogram Hal, so he could fully comply with all given orders, and primarily reveal his reasons to commit blatant betrayal against his human counterparts while serving as an active member aboard the ship. Bowman emphasizes the risk to such a suggestion, and pushes instead to explore the mystery of the "Black Monolith" structure. Food storage is also considered as a new factor, after determining it is only enough for a year and a half's time supply with 2 crew members. Poole urges him to reconsider his decision, but the Commander is deadlocked on his final say.

Bowman suits up and enters into the space navigation pod, and Poole opens the dock bay doors as he watches the pod shoot off into the darkness of space headed directly for the gigantic black rectangle cube. Bowman hails Poole through the communication intercom telling him.

"My God, it's full of stars!"

Poole is stifled and riddled to the response, but watches until the space pod simply vanishes into the black cube. He cries out in response.

"Dave!"

"DAVE! DAMMIT RESPOND!"

*"Frank can you see this? I've slipped into some type of wormhole vortex!"

"FRANK!? FRANK COME IN!?"

He vanishes into the stargate vortex…



Dr. Poole informs the Commander about a signal transmission attempt from the Magnus communication space base located 3 miles east of the Sea of Trinity, was sent from the Moon yesterday has failed to make contact with the USS Discovery Crew for its daily information system update as scheduled for diagnostic reports. Dr. Poole has prepared a thaw bed for fellow Astronaut Dr. Hunter who is scheduled for resuscitation from his long sleep inside the "cryobed," and must follow guidelines for therapeutic revival (each member who is left in 'cryostasis' for the majority of the mission, and must be revived when the crew reaches the outskirts of "Jupiter Space Jurisdiction.") They must follow daily exercise routines for 2 weeks, until they meet all the physical / psychological requirements to perform their active duties. All documented information must be sent -- forward via fax to Dr. Floyd who is currently stationed at the Clavius Moon Base Facility A.S.A.P. Both current active crew members know that all of the sent / received data is handled by the HAL AI, and so they confront him about the issue of the failed data transmission from the Magnus Communication Space Base. HAL claims he's not responsible for the interrupted data stream, he instead suggests that it could be an issue with the ship's emitter array.

Commander Bowman takes him for his word, however Dr. Poole isn't buying what Hal is pitching to him, and proceeds to ask him a series of questions. Hal answers the few merciless questions Poole pitches to him, and the doctor remains suspicious to all of his given replies which worries him to no end. He informs Bowman about a separate issue he noticed with space launch pods' audio communication's system, and suggests for him to assist him in narrowing down the issue, Bowman agrees to check it out.

Once inside the pod, Poole instructs Hal to sever the outer communication with them. After testing whether or not Hal could hear them getting no response from the intelligent AI, Poole starts by asking the Commander..

"So what do you think?"

After concluding the situation about Hal's obvious mistake in judgement, they agree to the possible shutting down of Hal's higher functioning systems which controls most of the ship's overall functioning systems. In the midst of their plotting, Poole forgot to tell Hal to rotate the pod so that front of it faces away from his line of sight (Hal has an infrared electronic "eye", that can see and detect motion), Hal discovers their plan simply by reading their lips while the window portion of the pod was facing his red eye, thus he deciphers their intentions to disconnect his functioning systems. Hal runs through his basic list of alternative measures to take once threatened, and the determining outcome caters to his survival while simultaneously setting up the crew for their demise.

20 minutes passes by after the conversation between the two members about the HAL-9000 series, and what steps should they take in immobilizing his total control of the ship's operating systems. Dr. Poole in heavy thought, is walking by one of the life pod stations, a total of 3 stations currently houses 3 crew members are cryogenically frozen until they reach their destination -- Jupiter space.

Suddenly, the vital life reading alarm sounds off letting him know that the air supply is falling inside all 3 of the life pod stations (one of which is Dr. Hunter who Poole was planning to opt for stasis release), he immediately shouts out to Commander Bowman for his assistance. Poole tells Hal to eject the emergency apparatus face masks (which are emergency dispenser masks set to disperse and cover the person's nose and mouth to provide oxygen.) Bowman rushes to the rear of the ship to assist Poole, he tries to interface with the life support dashboard panel. The oxygen continues to cease, [Poole shouts ballistic rants at Hal.]

Poole, in a fit of rage shouting at **Hal to extract the face masks (which is only used in cases of emergency for early revival of any crew member in "stasis-sleep"), Hal denies to comply with his orders and a frantic Dr. Poole grabs a fire extinguisher from the wall and runs over to the CPU data disk memory records located in a nearby wall, he smashes the butt end of the extinguisher into the wall panel cracking open one of the tray dispensers which houses Hal's data disks. Hal responds to his desperate efforts to destroy his command memory banks.

He tells Poole it's futile to fight back against him, and he and Commander Bowman will cease to exist in a matter of minutes. Bowman clutches his throat with both hands grasping for air as Hal initiates the space vacuum system, the same goes for the good doctor as he drops the extinguisher, lacking the strength to continue his efforts to subdue Hal. The life supports systems for all 3 astronauts in stasis has ceased, and the 3 are now deceased. Bowman shows signs of immobility, which means he too is now dead. And Dr. Poole struggles with all his might to crawl toward a nearby space shuttle pod, he manages to reach up and press the entry button located at the side of the pod's door hatch, only to lose consciousness as he tried to crawl inside attempting to use the reserve air inside after the shutting the hatch. Poole planned to use the pod to manually turn open the release locks of the shuttle bay dock doors, for a last desperate attempt to escape.

Moments seemingly run together in procession as a monitor screen clicks on located near the life pod stations. Suddenly, the camera pans over to a man sitting at a desk shrouded in darkness, as he starts talking to the camera, he's addressing a message to Hal thanking him for disposing the human crew members of the USS Discovery, and reinstates the importance of the Jupiter Mission program. He continues on to say that NASA will document all information sent back from Hal by means of fax, and will be sealed away from lower ranking officials, as well as military, and the common citizens of America. He tells Hal to proceed with his primary objective which is to investigate the unusual disturbance that has been recorded from a rectangle odd-shaped structure that has been dubbed -- ["The Black Monolith",] which seems to hold a vast amounts mysterious secrets, including the possibility of a "Stargate Dimension Vortex", which is said to have the ability to interfere with the constrains of time. Continuation of the mission is to be led and proceed by the Hal-9000 CPU, that is all. Good luck, and my your return to the Clavius Moon Base be a safe journey. Hal replies telling the mysterious silhouette figure a two word cliché phrase. [Thank you!] Dr. Heywood Floyd. I will now carry out the remainder of my orders with much success and precision."

HAL continues on, as the U.S.S. Discovery sails toward the mysterious Black Monolith Structure..

20 minutes passes by after the conversation between the two members about the HAL-9000 AI, and what steps should they take in immobilizing his total control of the ship's operating systems. Dr. Poole in heavy thought, walks past the prototype AI interface system SAL-9000 which is a previous failed version to the HAL AI series. The SAL AI version was deactivated due to the fact that it's functioning logistics program lacked the ability to decipher clear decision making skills. Dr. Poole is working extensively to advance SAL to higher standards (as suggested by Dr. Heywood Floyd, and SAL's originator Dr. Chandra who wrote out a instruction guide for Poole to study while programming her database.)

Suddenly, the vital reading alarm sounds off letting him know that the air supply is falling inside all 3 of the life pod stations (one of which is Dr. Hunter who Poole was planning to opt for stasis release), he immediately shouts out to Commander Bowman for his assistance. Poole tells Hal to eject the emergency apparatus face masks (which are emergency dispenser masks set to disperse and cover the person's nose and mouth to provide oxygen.)

Poole however manages to activate the nearby SAL-9000 unit, which immediately scrolls through her chain of commands. One of her primal task duties, is to ensure the safety of all crew members above anything else. Hal caught off guard doesn't recognize SAL's program directives, ====


As one would guess, "The Fourth Degree" is an extension of the [3rd concept.] This time you're brainstorming out 4 solid creative ideas or supporting facts to strengthen either a story, or an article is a 4 sectioned outline used to demonstrate how I would tackle each written scenario / situation, it can be done with storytelling or even "How To" instructions based on alternative conclusions or circumstances ("How To's" are based differently from the storytelling design, they are based solely upon source links to corresponding articles of a particular topic, and you can use pieces of information from each article, spin the information, and finally convert it into a unique spin you can use when producing rich content.)

We start here with the brainstorming and search procedure, (keep in mind that "How To" write-ups require deep researched information to develop your content from.)

"The 4th Degree Setup: Search & Brainstorming Ideas"

I talked about creating eBooks in a video I did a while back, I've noticed a lot of people have been having problems understanding how to create a "Electronic Readable Publication", and honestly it's NOT hard as they probably think it is. Most people over exaggerate when they're thinking about setting up a website, doing HTML coding, and again creating an eBook. They get easily intimidated, discouraged, and will QUIT in a whip of a flash if the slightest tech issue should arise.

It's situations such as these that DOES NOT have to be an impossibly. It simply reverts to the individual who is willing to learn simple skills to further their level of knowledge, while at the same time express their feelings, experiences, ideologies, manifesting it all in the form of rich text content.

I'm going to demonstrate how to create how an eBook using my 4th degree concept, so let's start with the basics, first you'll need a template platform to post your content to.

"The 4th Degree: SEO Depth Search"

SEO or (Search Engine Optimization), is always where you're going to start. It's basically the same concept as getting into your car, and going to a store to do some shopping for things you need. You will apply this to creating your eBook structure base, and Microsoft has the simplest template form application you can use to build it on, so logic would suggest to start there.



DIY Book Formats - This is a great site for you to grasp ideas from, and in a series of videos you will learn a good amount of information to actually "build out" pages of your publication from scratch.


Fiverr - Who doesn't know about "Fiverr", this site has a lot of tools you can utilize when creating your eBook. It's great for beginners who want to venture into writing and creating an electronic publication. The choice of format will vary, among the basic "word application" format many would often choose as a standard choice (because of its simplicity when used to format and create eBooks.) You can also message for support if you still feel "stomped", if your facing issues when crating your own publication.


Project Woman (MS Word eBook Template Tutorial Webpage) - I found this webpage on a site created by Helen Bradley who lives in the California. Bradley's tutorial is a great example that shows you the basics with eBook template creation. Keep in mind, there are other individuals who have created their eBooks by starting where you are now. They thoroughly searched out valuable information that was useful in guiding them to help complete their goal - which is creating an eBook publication.


Amazon's KDP (Kindle Direct Publication) MS Walkthrough - The 4th degree search brought me to a text tutorial I found at Amazon's popular kindle eBook self-publication site. Amazon encourages authors to better understand the steps to take when using a MS document to create your very own eBook, all the way to uploading your content directly to their site's database for kindle readers to purchase and read.

[So let me run through my way when putting together an eBook publication, and I'm using my concept to do it.]

The 1st thing I do is to pick the topic title, which is very important from the start. One example is the title of my most current eBook named "They Live: An Analytical Observation of Deception." Because of the title I chose to align with my eBook title alongside word phrase that best matches it, the content which I have written will deal various factors and situations portrayed in the video documentary itself (and will make reference to the title in various ways thanks to the nature of the content itself), which help me to shape it into eBook format content for the reader to better digest valuable information I presented in the given material.

The 2nd thing I like to do is gather the information needed to start the structuring sequence of the content, how I'll choose to lay out the format itself [because you do know the golden rule to the good formatting yes?] Yeah, the golden rule is simply NOT TO MESS UP THE FORMAT SEQUENCE. Yes very true folks, any content creator will tell you that right from the start when they're aligning images with text, positioning the content, the whole nine yards. The content display is like "eye candy," that's the attention getter you need to interest the reader (that's better known as "getting them hooked" into your material.)

The 3rd and lastly is getting a feel for the material I'm creating as I write it out, I'm REALLY hard on myself when I do write an eBook or an article. if the material doesn't satisfy me, THEN I'M THINKING IT DOESN'T SATISFY YOU, and I will re-hash out sentence by sentence until I feel that the material is suitable for the reader to browse through it as they take in the nre re


Finally the last degree is the most advance can be initiated when you're doing the "MOST EXTREME" info digging to applying to your writing material. I'm going to go easy with this one LOL, I know it's getting a bit dizzy to take in the concepts I've established, but the reason I use these concepts is to help me to effectively "map out," and in turn "layout," the finish product of the content material I put together for a rather unique end result.

Even though I've never created a "how to do" series write up, I can use my degree concept to construct it, and when its finished, the reader will have added knowledge I've provided for them to use the information as a guide to complete the objective of creating, or in this case solving / fixing an issue that previously "stopped them dead in their tracks," and I know they're already frustrated not having an immediate solution to solve the issue so they can proceed to finish either a project, or steps they should take when structuring written material, or maybe it's something dealing with fixing a leaky drip from their bathroom sink faucet, etc.

So without further adieu, I'm picking something out as an example of a "fixer-upper" solution to an issue that plaguing someone in this world no doubt, and it's going to be an common one they many will face in life..

Guess what it could possibly be?

[Why painting walls in your house of course LOL.]


Yeah.. You didn't see that one coming I know.

The first thing you'll need is to prepare your workspace where you’ll be setting up to do the job. Most people hire painters for this next sequence, because a lot of people hate doing is moving around any type of furniture, pictures, wall fixtures, or any other objects away from the walls or if you don't feel like removing paintings or fixtures, then MAKE SURE TO COVER APPROPAITELY with a drop cloth(s).



Protect your hands from accidentally coming into contact with sharp objects while cleaning. Lay down canvas drop cloths and secure them with painter’s tape to keep them from moving around. This will keep soapy, dirty water from dripping or running down the walls onto your floor. Avoid using plastic drop cloths, as they don’t absorb water.

Use a duster and/or a damp cloth to wipe dust and surface debris from the walls before cleaning with soap and water. You can also use your vacuum cleaner’s extension wand to suck up dust and debris from hard-to-reach locations, corners and along the trim.


The proper PPE or (Personal Protective Equipment), before you even consider starting any type of painting project. You want to make sure to have the following items.. You'll need chemical resistant gloves and footwear (preferably boots), goggles and a painter's hat and throw in a paint mask for added respiratory protection, you'll need a good vacuum apparatus with a brush attachment for quickly vacuuming up trash left over from the paint chips and other accumulating residue. Oh yeah, and make sure you get a [roll of painter's type which will come in handy when trying to keep fresh paint from inadvertently touching areas of the wall, and it's also ideal for keep picture frames, plus other objects from getting doused with paint splatter / markings as well.]

Then you'll need some paint thinner solution, "tripotassium phosphate" (or an alternative dirt spot remover if you don't have an acceptable paint thinner on hand), is needed for the purpose of removing any embedded stains you already have on your wall.[Seasoned painters take this important step seriously]. They know that removing dirt, grease spots, mildew buildup, even crayon markings, are very important before they will start painting over large areas of a wall. They will first determine first if the sanded down and stripped, which depends on the wall's present condition. Tripotassium Phosphate, is a VERY POWERFUL stain removing agent, and it should ONLY BE USED as a last resort if you're having a hard time removing tough stubborn stains. DO NOT LEAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AROUND THIS DANGEROUS POWERFUL SUBSTANCE!!

YOU DON'T want to start painting your wall without removing any stains or visible blemishes (washing the wall also helps to remove unwanted dirt -- I'll get into the more briefly in the next degree step), painting without will leave the finish job with dingy spots [WHICH WILL STAND OUT PLUS YOU'LL MAKE MORE WORK FOR YOURSELF], and make sure you have both small and large bags to throw away any scrap you accumulate as you're going through painting process.

Combine an all-purpose household cleaner or dishwashing liquid with water in a bucket, following the manufacturer’s recommendations for a proper mixture. You want enough soap to thoroughly clean the walls but not so much that it will leave a soapy residue on the surface. Usually, an ounce of cleaner and a gallon of water are good for removing mildly soiled walls.

Another cleaning tactic you can use is baking soda and water (combining the two can effective remove rough scuffs on the wall's exterior surface). You'll come out with a paste-like compound, after combining the two together. Then you want to rub your newly batter mixed paste deep into the stain with a cloth or an old toothbrush.

Then keep a clean cloth nearby to wipe the area after it has been thoroughly scrubbed. You can also try products such as Mr. Clean -- Magic Eraser, which is for removing crayon marks and other deep stains on various surfaces. When you've finished the wall section, you want to repeat the same procedures on the next wall area.

Dip a sponge in the bucket containing your cleaning solution and wring out excess water. Dip a second sponge in your rinse bucket and wring out excess water. Start at the bottom of the wall. This will ensure that any water running or dripping down as you clean won’t adhere to dirt and debris on the wall, and potentially leave stains.

Rub the surface lightly in a circular motion, working small areas at a time. Go over the area you just cleaned with the wet sponge to remove soap residue and any dirt. Dip the rinsing sponge again in the bucket of water and wring out excess water. Continue working in this manner until you have completed cleaned the entire wall. Change the water in the rinsing bucket when it becomes cloudy or too dirty to use for rinsing.


Use a stepladder for areas too hard to reach when painting, NEVER STAND ON UNSTABLE SURFACES TO PAINT OR CLEAN!

[It's obvious to practice safety folks, BUT LOL THAT GUY WITH THE SIDE COCKED LADDER HANGING OFF THE TOP LEVEL OF THE STAIRCASE.. Yeah, that's a stooges' playbook move if I ever saw..]

If you started a section of wall, make sure to finish it up before taking a break. The reason for this is to avoiding letting any excess liquid elements such as water or paint to remain on the unfinished proportion which will make your painted section look sloppy, and incomplete from stopping too soon before finishing.

When you’ve finally finished cleaning a wall, use a clean cloth or towel to wipe up any remaining drips and remove excess moisture.


Great work! Your walls have been cleaned and the paint finish looks as beautiful as ever.

Pat yourself on the back for a job well done!!

While I pat myself on the back from all of this typing!! LOL.

Thank you for reading!
