Whitewashing was often used to mask imperfections in a wall or to make a surface look brighter and more attractive. It was also used to cover up any offensive or unsightly markings or graffiti. In some cases, whitewashing was used to create a more even and consistent color on a surface. It was also used to cover up stains or other blemishes. Finally, whitewashing was sometimes used to mask odors.
