Minimum Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean the surface to remove dirt, grease and chalk. High pressure water jet or scrubbing manually are not recommended when re-coating existing Cladshield from Dulux Trade coatings. Treat any areas affected by mould, lichens and algae with a suitable fungicidal wash. Remove any poorly adhering or defective Plastisol coatings and manually or mechanically prepare bared surfaces to remove all contamination and corrosion. Any bare metal must be primed with a suitable Metalshield primer from Dulux Trade. Before surface preparation, read the Health & Safety information about old lead paints.

Cleaning After Final Use: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after final use to reuse them for future projects, saving you money and reducing waste. Cleaning Steps: 1. Remove Excess Paint: Scrape off leftover paint into a container for reuse. 2. Wash with Warm, Soapy Water: Clean brushes and rollers with warm soapy water in a sealed container like a bucket or tub. 3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse out all soap and paint residues into the same container. 4. Dry Naturally: Let tools air-dry and store in a dry, dust-free area. Dispose Responsibly: Settle Solids: Let paint solids settle at the bottom of the container. Pour off clear water for reuse or disposal. Disposal: Let remaining paint solids dry fully before disposing of them as solid waste. Do not flush paint down the drain, including when cleaning painting tools Pro Tip: Watch this cleaning guide from the British Coatings Federation and Dulux Connect contractor Bagnall’s: https://coatings.org.uk/general/custom.asp?page=HowToCleanPaintbrushes
