DESCRIPTION

An area that shows an unwanted increase in gloss or sheen of the paint film as a result of rubbing, scrubbing, or having an object brush up against it.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Use of a flat paint in high-traffic areas, where a higher sheen level would be more durable.
     

  • Frequent washing and spot cleaning with an abrasive cleaner.
     

  • Heavy objects (furniture, for example) rubbing against the walls.
     

  • Use of paint that has a low resistance to scrubbing.

SOLUTION

See Lead Information.
 

  • Paint heavy-use areas that require regular cleaning (e.g., doors, window sills, and trim) with a paint that offers both durability and easier cleaning capability.
     

  • In high-traffic areas, choose a semi-gloss or gloss finish rather than a flat sheen.
     

  • To assure maximum washability and durability, wait at least two weeks before washing the dry paint film.
     

  • When removing stains, dirt, and marks, use a soft cloth or sponge with water or a general-purpose household cleaner.
     

  • Penetrating stains and marks may be removed either by carefully using an abrasive cleaner and water or by applying a solution of household bleach diluted in water and then rinsing with clean water.
