But let\u2019s face it; sometimes our furry friends make life a little trickier, and we must arrange special accommodations for them, such as during vacation or when moving. Believe it or not, painting your home doesn\u2019t present too many challenges for pet owners; with a little savvy preparation and know-how, it can easily be done with no inconvenience to your pets! Here are three must-know tips to keep in mind if you\u2019re a pet owner who\u2019s about to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.platinumpaintingfortworth.com\/interior-painting.html\">repaint your home&#8217;s interior.<\/a> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. You\u2019ll Want to Use Toxic-Free Tints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first set out to select your paint, you\u2019ll want to be sure that you\u2019re checking paint labels and selecting something non-toxic. You should avoid paints that have VOCs, or volatile organic compounds; these products can emit harmful fumes that your family members and your pets don\u2019t need to be breathing in! Formulas made from natural ingredients like water, plant dyes, and essential oils are safe for humans and pets alike. However, they typically lack the potent pigments that make your colors pop and seem vibrant, so you\u2019ll want to plan accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Some Colors Are Stain-Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s very exciting to select your paint color, you\u2019ll want to carefully consider your pets in this process\u2014but this doesn\u2019t mean asking them what colors they prefer! It means you\u2019ll need to consider colors that are relatively stain-proof. Colors like bright red, yellow, blue, and green all tend to show smudges and stains, and since homes with pets tend to experience this damage more frequently, you might want to avoid them. Opt for darker, neutral shades like charcoal or other shades of gray, brown, or even bold black. Soft whites and cream work too; since the stains show easily, they\u2019re easy to touch up! Also, consider the sheen of your paint\u2014lower sheen finishes like satin can work well here, but just don\u2019t get something too reflective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Clean and Maintain Your Painted Walls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, interior paint can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years under ideal circumstances. It needs to be kept clean; painted walls should be wiped down and dusted at least monthly, and if you have pets, you might want to do it even more frequently. You might also find yourself addressing scuffs and touching up high-traffic areas often. Fortunately, this is all relatively straightforward maintenance, and taking the time to do these tasks will guarantee that no matter what color paint you\u2019ve chosen, it looks fantastic for several years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Platinum Painting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at Platinum Painting of Fort Worth has proudly served homeowners across Fort Worth and the surrounding metroplex for several years, offering expert assistance with a wide range of interior and exterior painting projects.
