Interior Paint

The paint on exterior and interior wood surfaces must be maintained in good condition at all times. Chips,

scratches and other breaks in the surface of the paint must be repainted promptly, or serious damage to the

underlying wood could result.

Please be aware that all paint is subject to yellowing and discoloration. The action of the sun usually

minimizes yellowing on exterior surfaces. However, yellowing can be noticeable on interior surfaces.

Yellowing is caused by the natural drying and aging of the paint and by exposure to certain chemicals such

as ammonia fumes and others that are found in some household cleaners. Light colors and white painted

surfaces are more subject to yellowing than darker colors.

Yellowing of oil-based paints is unavoidable. Because yellowing tends to take place over time and relatively

evenly on given surfaces, it may not be noticeable until you use touch up paint.

Interior woodwork, as well as the bathrooms and kitchen walls, are generally painted with a latex paint.

These areas may be wiped down with a soft sponge and soapy water.

Painted interior walls are not "scrub-proof". Scrubbing or harsh cleaners will remove paint. Also, you should

avoid washing newly painted interior surfaces for at least three months after you move into your home or

after re-painting, to allow the paint to fully set.

When doing paint touch-ups, use a small brush, applying paint only to the spot needing attention. Filler may

be used to cover any small defects prior to paint touch up. Touch-ups will sometimes be visible. When it is

time to repaint a room, prepare the wall surfaces first by cleaning with a mild soap and water mixture or a

reliable cleaning product.

Always dispose of paint and other hazardous materials properly.

Trim

Shrinkage of wood trim occurs during the first two years or longer depending on the temperature and

humidity both outside and inside your home. Wood is more prone to shrinkage during the heating season.

Maintain a moderate and stable temperature and humidity level to help minimize the effects of shrinkage.

Window Coverings

To clean your window blinds, dust regularly with a feather duster or vacuum. Blinds can be washed with a

mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Daily care of lined draperies or drapery panels is simple. Give them a gentle shaking as they are drawn

closed at night. This will prevent dust and dirt from lodging in the fibers. Every month or so, vacuum with a

handheld vacuum and soft brush attachment. Use the low-section setting if your vacuum has one. Always

make sure that trims, buttons, and other embellishments are secure before vacuuming.
