1. What precautions should be taken before moving in?
Answer: Before moving in, it is essential to protect the freshly painted wall surface. Doors and windows should be closed before the wall paint is dry to prevent touching or leaning tools like shovels against the wall. Do not clean the floor to avoid dirtying the painted wall. Once the wall paint is dry to the touch, open doors and windows to ensure adequate ventilation. In winter, if the indoor temperature is too low during the drying process, necessary measures should be taken to protect the wall paint to ensure proper film formation.
2. How long after painting the walls can one move in?
Answer: Since latex paint is a self-drying coating, it requires the action of film-forming agents to promote the evaporation of moisture, causing polymer particles to coalesce into a film. To prevent freezing, a small amount of diol is also added. The evaporation of film-forming agents and diols, as well as other organic volatile compounds (VOCs), is very slow and is greatly affected by temperature and humidity. For the health of the occupants, after the wall paint is applied, it should be maintained according to the time and conditions specified in the paint usage instructions. Generally, in summer, under sufficient ventilation conditions, one can move in about a week after application. In winter, it is best to wait two weeks after application before moving in.
3. What are the daily maintenance tips after moving in?
Answer: After moving in, the following aspects should be considered for maintaining the painted surfaces:
① Large and heavy furniture like beds and cabinets should be kept at a distance from the wall or protected when moving or placing them to avoid scratching or damaging the wall paint.
② Try not to splash water directly onto the wall or areas close to the wall to avoid contaminating the wall paint or causing the wall paint to bulge due to prolonged soaking (due to putty swelling).
③ Open flames should not be too close to the wall, and it is best to keep away from cooking fumes.
4. How to clean and wash the walls?
Answer: Although many companies claim that their wall paints have good scrub resistance and can clean various stains from the wall, most wall paints, especially the high PVC latex paints that are most commonly sold in the market, cannot be cleaned of those stains. Only high-end elastic or silk-like wall paints can be cleaned. When cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of clean water or cleaning solution to gently wipe the stained area repeatedly.
5. How to repair wall paint?
Answer: First, check the condition of the wall and use different repair methods for different defects. For wall paints with generally good coatings, simply remove dust and grease from the area to be repaired and repaint with new paint. For serious issues like cracking, bubbling, or peeling, the affected paint should be completely removed, re-applied with putty, sanded smooth, and then repainted with primer and topcoat.
