Putting rooms back to use:- Furniture can go back in place and you can get back to living in your rooms as soon as the paint is dry to the touch.
- Wall hangings should not be replaced for 24 hours to be sure the paint has cured.
- Try not to touch any painted surfaces for at least 24 hours.
- Painted surfaces like shelves should be left to cure an absolute minimum of 24 hours; 72 hours would be best to allow for maximum cure. The longer you wait, the better. If you do have to start putting items back the next day, try moving them around for a few days to keep them from tacking to the fresh paint.
- Bathrooms should be left to dry a minimum of 24 hours; 48 hours would be better in the case of showers. Always keep rooms with showers well ventilated.
- Refrain from washing newly painted surfaces with cleaners for seven days. If you must wipe off a stain or spill, try just water to remove it.
- Interior floors should be left to dry at least overnight before you try walking on them. Rugs should not be replaced for a minimum of a week.
Care tips for interiors:
- Most painted surfaces will wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Stubborn stains can be coaxed off with regular household cleaners and a damp cloth.
- You should avoid using abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning pads on painted surfaces.
- If a stain fails to release with cleaner and a cloth, touch up the area with more paint. We endeavor to leave you with all the touch-up paint you could require, clearly labeled. If you can't locate your touch-up paint contact our office and we'll consult our records to find the color and sheen used for your project. If you are touching up a wall, apply the touch-up paint with a small roller to maintain the surface texture. If you are touching up trim, use a brush.
