Interior & Exterior Paint Care
Painting done? That fresh look is worth celebrating — but keeping it that way takes a bit of care.
Interior Paint – Easy Tips That Go a Long Way
Keep Dust and Grease in Check
Walls near the kitchen or busy living areas tend to collect dust, grease, and general buildup. To keep them looking clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth from time to time. There's no need for harsh cleaning products — a mild detergent diluted in water does the job without damaging the paint.
Furniture + Walls = Careful Positioning
Always leave a small gap between beds, sofas, and the wall.
Use felt pads or bumpers to protect painted surfaces from constant contact.
Bathrooms Need Extra Care
Steam and moisture can slowly damage your paint, especially in bathrooms. To prevent mould and keep the walls fresh, make it a habit to open a window or run a fan after every shower.

Give It a Gentle Wash Once a Year
A quick rinse with a garden hose removes dirt, pollen, and pollution.
Avoid pressure washers — they can strip away your paint faster than you think.
Keep Plants Off the Walls
Bushes and vines trap moisture and invite mould.
Give your paint space to breathe.
Do a Quick Annual Check
Focus on areas hit hard by sun or rain — eaves, fences, and windowsills.
Catching flaking early means easier, cheaper fixes.

Marks or stains? If the paint is washable, use a soft sponge and mild soap.
