Hi I'm New Here & Registered to Get Some Advice

Would it be safe for me to use sugar soap (or soda crystals) to clean/wash walls with my pet green cheeky conure in the same room? I intend on painting the walls with odourless paint.

I wouldn't use it around your bird. Sugar soap is pretty strong stuff so I would be concerned about it near my bird personally

It was a good idea that I asked here first then. Thank you plenty for your quick response & HaPpY NeW YeAr to you all.

Is your odourless paint VOC free? It may be odourless but still have VOC's which are not safe.

I would not use sugar soap in the room my bird is in either.

Welcome.

I have no idea what sugar soap is. If it smells? I wouldn't.

If you're worried about your wall because of the bird, just hang a shower liner against the wall.

I think it's more commonly known as TSP in NA? It removes grease, stains and paints. My Dad used it before to clean our kitchen cabinets

I've seen those products being referred to as both TSP and sugar soap in stores here

I'm mostly concerned because my Dad had to make sure to wear gloves and protective layers when he was working with the stuff. I think it irritates your skin if you come into contact

Doesn't sound good for humans either!

Sugar soap does not remove paint, it cleans it back to being nothing but paint and ready to re paint over what is there already. It is very alkaline and dries your skin out horribly if you do not wear protective gear- it is also a nightmare if you splash it in your eyes and do not rinse it out well fast.

Sugar soap is a generic term with a lot of diferent brands no doubt with all having different concotions , i remember my brother back in the day doing his apprenticeship to become a painter and they used to use sugar soap to strip paint from steel fences,

If you want to clean your walls then maybe make your own solution from citrus fruits, they are exceptionally good as removing grease and dirt.
