Cleaning paintwork
cleaning paintwork
A beautifully painted cabinet starts before the first brushstroke. Clean and degrease the woodwork first to give the paint a suitable surface to adhere to.Degreasing
Remove grease and dirt with a cleaner suited to the surface. Follow its instructions and let the surface dry before continuing. Then check which preparation and primer your paint requires.
Better sanding
Sandpaper clogs more quickly on a dirty surface. Clean first, let the surface dry, then sand with a suitable grit. Remove the sanding dust before painting.
Better results
Another disadvantage is that if the dirt doesn't end up in your sandpaper, you might sand it into the woodwork, which can cause adhesion problems and even lead to deeper scratches. These deeper scratches mean a less even surface. For beautiful, glossy paintwork, you naturally want a surface that is as even as possible. A true professional therefore handles the cleaning work properly too.
Preserving paintwork
Keep your paintwork looking good with suitable care. Use a cleaner that is compatible with the coating and avoid unnecessary abrasion or hard scrubbing. Check the product information for cleaning, curing and maintenance.
