Surface preparation:
To get the best results with Dulux Easycare Washable & Tough, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry).
Remove all loose and defective paint. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1990s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
Where necessary, wash the surface to remove dirt, grease and powdery or dusty residues. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry. Seal surfaces that remain powdery after thorough preparation with an appropriate plaster sealer.
Where necessary, rub down and then wipe off with a damp, lint free clot to avoid dust.
Any surface defects should be filled with the appropriate Polycell product.
Cleaning instructions:
Cleaning After Final Use: Cleaning your brushes and rollers immediately after their final use ensures they can be reused for multiple projects, saving you money and reducing waste. Cleaning: 1. Remove Excess Paint: Scrape off excess paint into container for future projects. 2. Clean with Warm, Soapy Water: Use warm, soapy water in a sealed container, such as a bucket or empty tub, to clean your brushes and rollers. 3. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap and paint residues are completely rinsed out into container. 4. Dry Naturally: Allow brushes and rollers to dry naturally and store them in a dry, dust-free place. 5. Allowing solids to settle: Allow the paint solids to settle at the bottom of the container. Once settled, pour the clear water into another container for reuse or disposal. 6. Responsible Disposal: Let the remaining paint solids dry out completely and dispose of them as solid waste. Do not flush paint down the drain, including when cleaning painting tools
