Oil stains splashed on the wall are one of the problems you may experience no matter how careful you are. It is important that you use the right cleaning methods since it is one of the most tenacious stains, as well as creating a bad appearance at home. Let's take a look at what you should do when you encounter such problems.
Oil stains on the wall are one of the most tenacious stains to remove. Stains that occur while preparing food, especially in the kitchen, must be cleaned as soon as possible. There are some points to consider when cleaning oil-stained kitchen walls. The tenaciousness of the stain may cause you to damage the wall during cleaning. Therefore, you should take care to use the right cleaning products to remove oil stains. Oil solvent products provide practical results that will help you dissolve dried stains in a short time. However, chemical cleaners that are too heavy may cause the wall paint to thin or even fade over time. Therefore, you should be careful to use the right products.
Another point to consider when cleaning is to make light interventions. Pay attention to the instructions for the cleaning products you use and avoid cleaning with too much pressure. If the stain is spread over a large area on the wall, try using more than one cloth or sponge. So, you can clean the oily surface more effectively. Another thing you can do to remove oil stains is to use warm water. Warm water softens especially dried stains, making cleaning easier. After removing the oil stain, do not forget to dry your wall. Wet walls become more prone to moisture formation.
Does Paint Cover the Oil Stain on the Wall?
The oil stain on the wall cannot be covered with standard paints. Applying paint on the stain before it is removed does not provide a permanent solution. Let's examine together the steps you can take to clean the stained wall.
If there are damaged areas on the wall during stain cleaning or for other reasons, you can use Betek Interior Paste before painting. The special content of the putty regarding its stretching properties ensures appropriate smoothness on your walls before painting.
Then, apply Kapatan, a stain-covering paint developed by Betek, to your wall. Kapatan's thermoplastic resin-based structure perfectly covers all traces such as oil, soot, nicotine and moisture on the wall surface. High-level matte interior paint also prevents traces from reappearing on the surface thanks to its special content. The product's spill- and moisture-resistant structure does not yellow over time and maintains its first-day whiteness. Stain-covering paint is also free from lead and aroma, and offers a healthy solution.
After applying Kapatan paint, apply the interior primer chosen according to the surface to increase the adhesion of the paint and for extra permanence. Finally, apply the interior paint of the color you want for your wall. Your walls now look as clean as the first day!
