A quick paint coating inspection and a few plane maintenance steps will keep your paint looking fresh and add many years to the life of a paint job.
You should inspect your exterior for paint coating at least one time a year. Here are some exterior painting maintenance instructions that can assist you to extend the life of your exterior paint job and ultimately save you time and money.

Dealing with Mildew and Mold For The Exterior of Your House

Exterior Paints can support the improvement of mildew, particularly after they have weathered for more than a couple of years. Most likely to happen northern exposure and in shaded and damp areas. Where mildew is found its better to call your favorite exterior house painters in Melbourne or do as steps mentioned below:

  • Protect plants and grass
  • Apply a 3:1 mixture of water: household bleach to the mildewed area plus a one-foot margin, with a brush or garden sprayer. Wear eye and skin protection and a respirator.
  • Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 to 15 minutes
  • Wash off the area completely

Dealing with Dirt and Chalk For The Exterior of Your House

Airborne dirt can gather on paint and darken the surface, dirt then becomes a source of food for mildew. The chalky pigment can be released from paint as it weathers, fading of colors and unsightly rundown would be the result of so. Dirt and chalk can both be removed by scrubbing or power washing.
Scrubbing is best done with a not so heavy detergent and a scrub brush, followed by a complete rinsing. Sever, alkaline cleaners such as TSP can deteriorate the gloss of alkyd paints and of some latex paints. Power washing is a fast way to put a shiny and bright surface on your house at a fraction of the cost of repainting. If power washing, use care to not lift paint or to damage the layer. It is a harsh cleaning method and should not be used more than a couple of times per year.

Watch Out for Cracking and Peeling For The Exterior of Your House

It is essential to check for this condition of exterior painting in order to realize failures early, and thus minimize subsequent greater paint failures and make repaints more cost-effective. Check the paint closely for cracks and peels, and repair instantly.
Check for cracks near windows, doors and trim; fill with good quality caulking compounds
Peeling often initiates caps, window sills and surfaces painted in darker colors; scrape and sand off the loose material, spot prime then touch up.
Hope your exterior painting in Melbourne remains great looking for many years!
