Be Safe

If you think there may be lead paint:

  • Use a chemical paint stripper to remove it.
  • Seal the debris in a bag and put it in the dustbin.
  • Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a heavy duty filter to remove all the dust.
  • Avoid the problem by painting over it.
  • Wash your hands after working with the material.

  1. I have applied polyurethane varnish to a wood floor to seal it however from other decorating it now has paint marks which I want to remove before applying more vanish. Ive tried white spirit, scrubbing, sanding and it isnt working. Ive also investigated Evostik Adhesive cleaner which doesnt seem to be working either. Has any got any advice how I can remove these marks ? Thanks.
