I'm wondering if it's necessary to wash walls after I sand them. I've come across different opinions online suggesting it might not be needed, but my friends in the trades say it's important. What's the best approach here? Thanks!

Definitely, it's a smart move to wipe down the walls with a damp rag after sanding. It helps remove any leftover dust that can mess up your paint job by causing bubbles or debris in the finish. Just makes for a smoother application in the end!

SawdustNinja41: I was thinking about using a broom to get the dust off first and then follow up with a damp rag. Do you think that would work?
