BLOG Top Tips to Maintain Your Freshly Painted Walls by Nelson and Sons Painting LLC May 24, 2024

Congratulations on your freshly painted walls by Nelson and Sons Painting LLC! Now that your walls are looking fresh and vibrant, it's important to take proper care to maintain them and extend the life of your paint job. Here are some top tips to keep your walls looking great for years to come.

1. Clean Regularly: Dust, dirt, and grime can accumulate on your walls over time, dulling the paint and making it look less appealing. To keep your walls looking fresh, make sure to dust them regularly with a soft microfiber cloth. For tougher stains or dirt buildup, use a mild detergent mixed with water to gently clean the walls.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: When cleaning your walls, it's best to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can strip the paint or cause damage. Stick to gentle cleaning solutions and test them in a small, inconspicuous area before applying them to the entire wall.

3. Touch Up as Needed: Even with the best care, your walls may experience wear and tear over time. Keep a small amount of leftover paint from your project on hand to touch up any scratches, scuffs, or small blemishes that may occur. This will help maintain the appearance of your walls and keep them looking fresh.

4. Watch for Moisture: Moisture can be damaging to painted walls, causing paint to bubble, peel, or discolor. Be sure to keep an eye out for any signs of water damage, such as bubbling paint or water stains. Address any moisture issues promptly to prevent further damage.

5. Use Proper Techniques: When hanging or removing items from your walls, be mindful of the proper techniques to avoid damaging the paint. Use appropriate hanging hardware and avoid pulling or tugging on the walls when removing items.

6. Consider Repainting Every Few Years: While proper care can help extend the life of your paint job, it's inevitable that your walls will need repainting eventually. Consider repainting every few years to keep your walls looking fresh and vibrant.
