How to care for Dulux paint in your home

Apply the solution to the affected area with a soft cloth, where the marking is particularly stubborn.

Having thoroughly cleaned the affected area, you should then proceed to wash down the whole wall or ceiling to eliminate any chance of patchiness.

Finally, rinse off the washed area with clean water and allow to dry. Avoid vigorous scrubbing with chemicals or brushes and scourers to prevent burnishing the surfaces and causing shiny patches.

Don’t use abrasives or caustic-based cleaning compounds.

Instead use warm water, with a little detergent added. You can use a damp cloth and cleaner such as Selleys® Sugar Soap Wipes for stubborn stains.

Apply to the affected area with a soft cloth and be sure to wash down the whole surface with clean water and allow to dry.

Prepare a bucket of warm water mixed with the recommended amount of Dulux House Wash.

Apply to the entire painted area with a soft bristle brush, broom or soft cloth, you will need ladders, scaffolding and a long-handled applicator to reach some of the higher parts of your home’s exterior, under eaves, along fascias, etc.

Before the wall or other painted surface has the opportunity to dry, you should hose it down thoroughly with clean water. Hosing down by itself, even with very good water pressure, is not usually sufficient to remove the normal build-up of road grime, sap stains, dust and so on. 

We recommend washing your walls every two years to maintain the life of the paint.
