Burnishing

< Previous page   •   back to index   • NEXT PAGE >

Description

Spots of increased sheen that appear after
paint has been rubbed or scrubbed (even a fingernail can burnish).

 

 

 

 

Probable Cause

• Selection of a flat finish for areas subject to heavywear and soiling

• Repeated spot washings using abrasive cleansing powders rather than liquid detergents

• Furniture or other objects rubbing against walls or other painted surfaces
  (dark colors show more)

Solutions

• Do not clean with abrasive cleansers.

• Wash with non-abrasive detergents with a sponge or soft cloth and rinse with
  clean water.

• Paint high traffic areas with high quality California Paints' washable finishes.

• Gloss finishes are easier to clean and resist soil.
  
  

Primers & Interior Finishes

• Priming is essential for stronger adhesion, sheen uniformity, mildew control, and durability.

• Select a top quality California Paints interior paint in the color and sheen of your choice.
