5. Take a roller, lightly moisten the foam with water and gently apply the water on the lime wall. Let the water soak in and dry. Repeat wetting. Difficult places, wet with the spray. Do not allow waterlogged and dripping water on the floor – it will only add to the problems with cleaning. Lime will start to lag.
