Why Braai Areas Need Special Attention

Braai rooms and entertainment areas deal with far more than normal household conditions. Over time, these spaces are exposed to:

• ✓Smoke residue on walls and ceilings
• ✓Grease splashes near cooking areas
• ✓Winter damp and trapped moisture
• ✓Dust and grime from seasonal weather
• ✓Discolouration and lingering odours

If these contaminants are not properly removed before repainting, new coatings may struggle to adhere correctly, and stains can eventually bleed back through the paint finish.

Proper cleaning and surface preparation are essential for a long-lasting result.

Step 1: Deep Clean with WeatherPrufe Tornado

Before repainting begins, surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned to remove all grease, smoke residue, and contaminants.

We recommend:

• ✓Cleaning walls, ceilings, beams, and corners using WeatherPrufe Tornado
• ✓Paying special attention to areas directly above and around the braai
• ✓Rinsing surfaces thoroughly with clean water
• ✓Allowing all surfaces to dry completely before painting

WeatherPrufe Tornado helps remove contaminants that prevent paint from bonding properly and creates a clean surface ready for recoating.

A properly cleaned surface not only improves adhesion but also helps prevent smoke stains from reappearing through fresh paint.
