DIRT COLLECTION:
DESCRIPTION

Accumulation of dirt, dust particles, and/or other debris on the paint films

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Exterior: soil splashing on to siding, air pollution, and car exhaust.
• Interior: air-borne dust and household dirt.

SOLUTION

• Wash the surface; if it comes clean, painting may not be necessary.
• Cleaning off dirt with a scrub brush and detergent solution or pressure washing, followed by a through rinsing. While dirt pickup cannot be eliminated entirely, satin, gloss, and high-gloss paints are more resistance to dirt pickup then flat paints due to their smooth finish.
