Do I need to wash the walls before painting?

Wash before painting.

In order for the paint, any paint to stick well, the surface must be cleaned. This is not always the first step in preparation of a surface. But sometimes is over-looked for its importance. Without washing the surface we would only be painting over dirt, oils and not the sound surface.
