Paint Aftercare.

A few aftercare tips can go a long way when trying to get the most out of your paint job!

Maintaining Your Interior Paint Job

Keep the vibrancy, quality, and texture of your paint with these simple steps.

  1. Cleaning your walls: Cleaning your walls can extend the life of your paint! Using household cleaner and a sponge or cloth, you can begin wiping any dirt or marks off of walls up to two weeks after your paint job.

  2. Touch-ups: Dealing with scuffs and marks accumulated over time can be easily fixed with a quick touch up! Try to use the original paint colour to touch up any areas needing a boost. To give your walls an evenly blended paint texture, try feathering your brush while going over any patches.

  3. Avoid Melamine sponges: Melamine sponges are not recommended for cleaning painted walls! The sponge chemicals have a tendency to wear down your paint finish, leaving displeasing spots over the paint.

Maintaining Your Exterior Paint Job

Keep the colours and texture of your exterior paint job in pristine condition with these aftercare tips.

  1. Exterior cleaning: To effectively clean your exterior paint job, opt for using a soft bristle brush with a little bit of detergent. Begin scrubbing in horizontal or vertical movements to restore and refresh the original paint job. Make sure you rinse thoroughly after cleaning but avoid high water pressure as it may chip off the paint!

  2. Maintain landscaping: You’d be surprised of the impact external landscaping can have on the longevity of your paint job. Ensure your sprinklers aren’t wetting your home siding to avoid fungi and mold growth. Wet siding may also cause wood rot and deterioration. Keep any bushes, shrubs, or ivy trimmed and minimal. This will allow airflow and combat insects making their homes in your wood.

  3. Gutter and Downspout Checks: Neglected gutters may become backed up and cause water to overflow on your home exterior. Avoid creating any extra wear on your paint by checking that your gutters are functioning properly!
