Ever feel frustrated with constantly cleaning chair brush marks, scuffs, and bumps off your kitchen walls? Yeah, we have been there too!
So we complied a list of tips that can either help prevent the scuff marks to begin with, or help clean them up easily! Piedmont Professional Painters – House Painters | Painting Company
Tips for preventing wall scuff marks:
- Wall bumpers or chair guards are a great way to stop scuff marks on the whole wall when they are positioned at the chair height.
- Fabric covered chairs help to prevent paint from flaking when the chair bumps the wall. But can leave a fabric rub mark. (We’ll talk about how to get rid of those in a minute.)
Best practices for removing scuffs, scratches, and dents in the wall and paint in your high traffic areas:
- If it is a scuff then a simple damp cloth with some bleaching agent and elbow grease should remove the scuff in a jiff. If you are a green home, than Shaklee decrease formula would work.
If it is a scratch or a dent in the wall from that chair bump the best thing to do is fill in the dent or scratch with caulk, when dry sand it down to a level surface with the rest of the wall, prime and repaint. Keeping in mind to paint a spot would mean painting the whole wall so that the spot isn’t a different color than the rest of the wall due to the age of the paint and sun age of the wall color.
