Cleaning after whitening

how to clean floors and remove paint stains

stained floor

In spite of the diligent preparation of cloths and masking before painting, however, some drops of paint should be avoided on floors or furniture that are not desperate.

It will be possible in most cases to remedy it.

In case you have used the water-based paint, the large stains must be removed with the spatula, gently, while for the smallest, just moisten the floor with warm water and detergent, leave a few minutes for the paint to soften and then wash the floor.

After washing you can switch to polishing as you usually do.

Stains on furniture and fabrics

If the paint stain is on a piece of furniture or a window, gently wipe with a damp cloth and wait for the paint to soften before removing it.

If a fabric has been stained and the stain is still fresh, we can simply pass a sponge soaked in water.

If the stain has already dried, soak it in advance and then proceed as above.
