1. Allow the Paint to Cure Completely After we finish painting your walls, it's important to allow the paint to cure fully before cleaning or touching the walls. Typically, latex paint takes about 30 days to cure completely, while oil-based paint may take up to 60 days. During this time, avoid touching the walls and be gentle when moving furniture.
2. Clean with Care When it's time to clean your walls, use a mild soap and water solution. Harsh chemicals and abrasive sponges can damage the paint and cause it to peel. Gently wipe the walls with a damp cloth and avoid scrubbing too hard. For tough stains, consult with our professionals for the best cleaning solution.
3. Watch Out for Moisture Moisture can be your walls' worst enemy. Excess moisture can cause the paint to bubble, peel, or mold to grow. Be mindful of moisture levels in your home, especially in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Use exhaust fans to reduce humidity and prevent potential damage to your freshly painted walls.
4. Touch Up when Needed Over time, your walls may develop small scratches, dings, or scuff marks. To keep your walls looking fresh, touch up these areas with a small amount of matching paint. Our professionals can provide you with the right paint and application techniques to ensure a seamless touch-up.
5. Keep an Eye Out for Signs of Damage Regularly inspect your walls for any signs of damage, such as cracks, peeling paint, or water stains. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage and preserve the integrity of your paint job.
