Description

Excessive wearing away of the paint film from repeated scrubbings

 

 

 

Probable Cause

• Using an improper, scrubbing technique with abrasive cleansing powder that will burnish and cut through the paint film

• Using a flat sheen paint in a gloss sheen area

• Scrubbing the paint before it has properly cured

Solutions

• Select a quality California Paints finish, formulated for repeated scrubbings (generally, gloss finishes wash easier and resist soil)

• Wait until the paint is properly cured before any scrubbing (usually 3 weeks or more)

• Wash with a sponge or a soft cloth with a liquid detergent

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.
