Dust Removal Products

Dust Removal Products for Surface Preparation

Dust left on a surface shows through the finish as texture or poor adhesion. Whatever is on the wall when the roller passes over it stays there under the coating.

Dust removal products take it off walls, ceilings, woodwork and trims so the next coat has something clean to grip. The range at Paintlab covers dusting tools for decorators, contractors and DIY users working on interior finishing and renovation projects.

Choosing the right dusting tool

Selection depends on the surface being cleaned and the amount of area to cover. Open wall areas need width to keep the number of passes down, while profiles and trims need a tool narrow enough to reach into the shape.

• Cleaning pads for open wall, ceiling and floor areas, on a pivoting head that keeps full contact with the surface
• Dusting brushes for skirting, architrave and mouldings, with bristles soft enough not to mark a finished coat
• Foam sponges for damp wiping where a dry tool would move dust rather than lift it

When dust removal tools are used

The main point is immediately after sanding and abrasive work. Sanding leaves fine debris across the whole surface, and any of it still in place when primer goes on becomes part of the paint film.

Dusting tools are also used before the first coat on surfaces that have stood untouched during renovation, and on woodwork and trims where dust collects in the profile and is not visible until the coating dries.
