Maintenance Instructions

Clean the surfaces with neutral (pH 6-8) detergent with soft brush, sponge or cloth at the earliest 1 month after painting.

Follow the dilution instructions of the detergent manufacturer.

Be careful with the painted surfaces during the first few weeks as the paint will achieve its final hardness and durability in normal conditions after 1 month.

If the surfaces must be cleaned soon after painting, cleanse them lightly with a damp cleaning cloth.
