Wearing away or removal of the paint film when scrubbed with a brush, sponge or cloth.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Inadequate curing time allowed before washing or scrubbing.
Use of an abrasive cleaner.
Choosing the wrong sheen or product for the area.
SOLUTION
Allow adequate dry time, as scrub resistance will not fully develop until the paint is thoroughly cured.
Try washing the painted surface with the least abrasive material-sponge or cloth and water, or the mildest detergent first.
High
traffic areas may require a semi -gloss or gloss paint rather than a
flat or stain paint to provide good scrub resistance. Alkyd/oil-based
paints are generally more scrub able than latex coatings.
Exterior
products will seldom provide a scrub able surface as they are more
flexible to accommodate the expansion and contraction caused by
temperature and humidity changes. Wash exterior surfaces carefully with
a mild cleaning solution.
