Spring Clean

-

How can I freshen up the outside of my home?

For an instant refresh, wash down your exterior with Resene Paint Prep and Housewash. It’s amazing what a decent clean can do to the appearance of your home, especially after a cold, wet winter! Simply apply the diluted Resene Paint Prep and Housewash with a soft broom and rinse off with fresh water.

What is the best way to remove scuff marks off my painted walls?

I would definitely recommend Resene Interior Paintwork Cleaner. Resene Interior Paintwork Cleaner is a non-dulling neutral cleaner designed specifical­ly for use on all interior painted surfaces.

What are the hottest new colours coming through at the moment?

Summer is a great time of year to experiment with new colours, whether you’re updating your front door or even just sprucing up a few old pots. Pair fresh lavenders such as the dreamy Resene Whimsical and delicate Resene Mozart with crisp, chilled whites. Resene Just Dance has been a popular choice this year and will continue through into summer. Its sweet, peachy nature is the perfect blend of orange and pink.

Do you recycle old paint cans?

Yes! Unwanted paint and paint packaging can be returned to designated Resene ColorShops as part of the Resene PaintWise programme. Recycled paint is donated to community groups to cover graffiti and packaging is recycled. The aim is to help people responsibl­y dispose of unwanted paint and paint packaging, minimising the amount going to landfill.

It’s amazing what a decent clean can do to the appearance of your home. With summer (and the festive season) on our doorstep, why not take some time out to spruce up your home with these simple yet effective tips and tricks?
