Interior Paintwork Maintenance
George.Painting offers interior painting maintenance for walls, ceilings, floors and any other painted surfaces in your home. We handle everything from small touch ups to large projects and maintenance for high traffic areas. In between painting maintenance, you can protect your paint by doing the following:
Clean fresh paint after two weeks
Once fresh paint has dried for 2 weeks, use a soft cloth and warm, soapy water to wipe down the surface. This removes any dust that has settled which could discolour the fresh paint while it’s curing.
Use soap and water to wash surfaces
Most interior paints are washable. They can be cleaned with warm water and a mild soap (like hand soap). Avoid using scouring or scrubbing pads on paint – these are abrasive and may remove the protective paint layer.
Inspect the paint for defects
You should inspect the painted surfaces in your home for peeling, cracking, blistering and chalking. These are a sign that the paint is damaged or that it didn’t adhere properly. If the paintwork is fresh, it may be covered by a workmanship warranty.
Maintain areas exposed to sunlight
Sunlight can quickly damage your paint. Keep an eye on painted surfaces that receive lots of sunlight. These areas may need more paint maintenance than other parts of your home.
Clean scuffs and marks immediately
Scuffs marks and the drawings your kids leave on the walls should be cleaned as soon as possible to prevent staining. Warm, soapy water can be used to clean most marks. For issues like kids drawing on the walls with a marker, try wiping away the stain with isopropyl alcohol.
Exterior Paintwork Maintenance
Our team handles paint maintenance for all exterior surfaces, including building exteriors, fences and screening, window and door frames, and more. Exterior paint needs additional attention, so make sure you’re doing the following:
Regularly inspect the paint for defects
Exterior paintwork has to stand up to the harsh sun and Newcastle’s seaside climate. It can quickly deteriorate and should be inspected regularly to check for cracking, peeling, bubbling and chalking.
You can spot chalking by running your hand over the surface – if paint dust comes off on your fingers, the paint is chalking and needs to be repainted.
Wash the exterior of your home
Occasional washing of the exterior prevents dirt buildup, which can damage the painted finish. Simply use a garden hose and a soft brush or broom to rinse dirt off the home. This works for weatherboards, brick and rendered finishes.
Avoid using a pressure washer to clean the outside of your home. Pressure washers can damage painted surfaces and the cladding material, leading to structural issues.
Check window sills and door frames
Window sills and door frames are high traffic zones. They’re also prone to moisture damage as rain runs off the walls of your home. Monitor these areas for bubbles and fading, and contact George.Painting if they need maintenance.
