SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of dust, dirt,
grease, wax, wall covering adhesive, soap film, loose paint
or any contamination that may interfere with adhesion.
Remove all existing mold and mildew before painting. If
you are concerned about mold and mildew behind walls,
underneath flooring, in ventilation systems or other unseen
areas, contact a professional who specializes in mold and
mildew remediation. For commercial buildings and
schools, follow appropriate guidelines for mold removal.
To effectively kill mold and mildew and clean surfaces, use
Perma-Wash Disinfectant and Fungicide Interior
Concentrate or a suitable biocidal wash.
WARNING!
If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you
may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO
LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS
BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.
PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID
EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-Approved respirator to
control lead exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA
vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to
protect yourself and your family by contacting the National
