Cleaning fresh walls

I have recently painted our house with dulux wash and wear ( antique white usa) . After we painted we had our timber floors sanded back and restained. now my question is what is the best way to clean the dust off the walls ? It looks to me it wont just brush off. What do people suggest or have done in pass? Please help as my wife is on my back .

If its only fine air-born dust, a feather duster should suffice.

Should it be necessary and if your paint has cured a month or more a light wash with cold water

I wiped our walls with damp clean cloth. Even though its wash and wear it shows the wipe marks. I would try dusting it off.

FWIW you did post this at 6:30pm on a Saturday night and then bumped at 6:30am on Sunday morning.

As far as cleaning goes define recent please?

If the paint is more than 1 month old there shouldn't be any problems using warm water with a small amount sugar soap in it. I've used sugar soap to clean wall before re painting and they come up good.

First off though I'd be trying to remove as much dust as you can with a duster first. If there is too much dust it will just clump up with the water and make it harder to clean. You could also try a microfibre cloth between the duster and washing.
