The Best Way to Clean your Painted Walls

Always use a natural sea sponge when cleaning your painted walls. The soft and gentle material picks up dirt and releases it into your rinse water, whereas a rag and water only moves the dirt around and may also burnish the paint finish. Never scrub your painted walls with abrasive materials. It's best to use clean, filtered water with a mild cleansing soap (often a light hand or dish soap is sufficient). Blot the area dry with the natural sponge, do not scrub.

Small, medium, and large natural sea sponges are available at Teknicolors and are recommended for cleaning all interior latex paint finishes.

Happy cleaning!

Fabulous!

What a fabulous event last Saturday! We had a wonderful time demonstrating the wall textures and color washes! Thanks to everyone who attended. If you have any further questions on the techniques feel free to call, email, or drop in.

For those who were unable to attend, we have a few boards made up if you'd like to stop in and try the process. Give us a call and let us know when you're coming and we'll get things ready for you.

Our next class is a Furniture Makeover class where we will be exploring new and inovative ways to update the old furniture stacked up in your basement or attic. It will be held on Saturday, May 3rd at 4:00 p.m.

Thanks again for a great time on Saturday.
