Is it safe to sleep in a freshly painted room?


After we are done with our painting services, one question that all our clients have asked us is if their room is safe to sleep with all the fresh paint? This happens has the paint fumes lingers around, making people worried about the chemicals in it. Well, you do not have to worry as it is safe to sleep. But there is always a but! There are a few exceptions to this affirmation, which include people suffering from:
  • Asthma
  • Headaches
  • Allergies
  • Smell sensitive people
But there are options for these sufferers as well. You just need to use a low VOC rating paint, to keep the paint, safe for all.

So exactly which paint do we prefer?

We have had many clients who wish to start using their property after we are done with our home painting services. For these people, we use the Taubmans Endure paint. It is brand approved by Australia’s Sensitive Choice Program of National Asthma Council. With a VOC rating of 16 grams per litre, they are a fantastic option for interior painting jobs.
If you are not in a hurry then it will be suitable to wait for at least 24 hours before your move in or sleep in that room. Keep the room well ventilated so that the smell can move out from the room.

Why exactly are people scared of Paint Fumes?

Paint Fumes are hazardous. Inhaling them can affect you in the following ways:
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Irritation is the eyes, throat, and lunch
As we suggested earlier, keep the windows and doors open, after the completion of home painting services. Always remember that one can never be too careful when it comes to our health so never have a diffidence while calling medical personnel.

How to neutralise the Paint Smells?

Opening the doors and windows do not guarantee a quick result in removing the smell or drying the wall. You can try the following remedies that are completely natural:
  • Cut and place the onions in or around the painted room as the onions have the ability to absorb the smells.
  • You also place two bowls of vinegar in the painted room as it will easily neutralise the air.
