BURNISHING:
DESCRIPTION

An area that shows an increase in gloss or sheen of the paint film when subjected to rubbing, scrubbing, or having an object brush up against it.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Use of a flat paint in high-traffic areas, where a higher sheen level would be more durable.
• Frequent washing and spot cleaning with an abrasive cleaner.
• Heavy objects (furniture, for example) rubbing against the walls.
• Use of paint with low scrub resistance.

SOLUTION

• Paint heavy wear areas that require regular cleaning (e.g, doors, window sills, and trim) with a paint that offers both durability and easier cleaning capability. In high-traffic areas, choose a semi-gloss or gloss rather than a flat sheen level.
• To assure maximum washability and durability, wait at least two weeks before washing the dry paint film when removing stains, dirt, and marks, use a soft cloth or sponge with water or a general-purpose household cleaner, penetrating, stains and marks may be removed either by applying a solution of household bleach in water and then rinsing with clean water, or by carefully using an abrasive cleaner and water.
