Maintenance Tips

Let fresh paint cure for the time specified by the manufacturer before washing. Test any cleaning method in a small, inconspicuous area.

  • Dust walls regularly
  • Clean with mild soap
  • Avoid harsh chemicals
  • Touch up scuffs

When to Repaint

A 5–7 year interval can be a starting point for planning an interior repaint, but traffic, cleaning, surface condition and your desired appearance matter more than a fixed schedule. High-use areas may need attention sooner.
