AdvantaClean of Fort Lauderdale What Can Everyone do to Repair Water Damage | Page 4

Quick, easy to fix water damage is usually something simple like some discoloration in
the paint on a wall or ceiling. It can result in some discoloration to wallpaper. The truth
is that replacing the wallpaper is a job that takes time, but can be done by almost
anyone. If the situation involves a little bit of discoloration to paint, then there are two
options one can take:
First – Dilute water with a sterilizing agent. Vinegar can be used, but it isn’t as effective
as bleach. Bleach will kill any bacteria in the stain and, for white paint, is better at
restoring the color. With this, it’s better to delicately brush away the stain and then let it
dry overnight. The best results with this method are over a twenty-four hour period.
Second – Repaint. This is a solution that means repainting an entire wall or an entire
room, but should only be used if the first solution doesn’t work. This takes time, but can
be done by anyone.
