At Eternal Plastering, we take pride in delivering smooth, durable, and beautiful finishes. To maintain the integrity and appearance of your plastered surfaces, regular care is essential. Follow this simple guide to ensure your walls and ceilings stay looking as perfect as the day they were finished.
🧼 1. Regular Cleaning
-
Dusting: Use a soft microfiber cloth or feather duster to remove surface dust regularly.
-
Stain Removal: For minor marks, gently wipe with a damp sponge and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
-
Mould Prevention: In damp areas (like bathrooms), keep surfaces dry and well-ventilated to prevent mould growth.
🔧 2. Inspect for Cracks or Damage
-
Hairline Cracks: These are common as buildings settle. They're typically cosmetic. You can fill them with a matching filler or call us for a professional touch-up.
-
Deeper Cracks or Damp Issues: These may indicate underlying structural or moisture issues. Contact a professional immediately for assessment.
🌬️ 3. Ventilation is Key
Plaster breathes. Ensure proper ventilation in rooms to prevent moisture build-up. Use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, and open windows regularly to allow airflow.
🎨 4. Repainting Tips
-
Only paint plaster after it’s fully cured (at least 4–6 weeks for new plaster).
-
Use breathable, high-quality paint to avoid trapping moisture.
-
If repainting older plaster, clean the surface thoroughly and repair any cracks beforehand.
🚫 5. Avoid This
-
Don’t hang heavy items without checking for studs or using proper wall anchors.
-
Avoid washing plaster surfaces excessively — especially with acidic or bleach-based products.
-
Don’t ignore bubbling, discoloration, or persistent damp spots — these may be signs of water damage.
