Dutch Boy Paints new “Refresh” product
So I recently became aware of a new product by Dutch Boy Paints called Refresh. Although I have not used this product myself yet, I certainly would like to try it the next time it becomes necessary to perform a “trash out” in a previous tenant’s unit.
It never ceases to amaze me that tenants will check the box “No” on the rental application that asks (in plain English) “Do you smoke?” And then proceed to smoke indoors, presumably with the doors and windows closed judging from the lovely brown nicotine patina adorning the walls after a year. Not to mention the accompanying odor.
Dutch Boy Paints Refresh product uses Arm & Hammer baking soda to absorb odors from the room and also claims to be a zero-VOC emitting product which, in my opinion, is an added benefit and all indoor paints should strive to this standard.
On a fun note, Dutch Boy Paints is holding a contest at the web site www.myhousestinks.com where you can submit photos of dirty rooms and win various prizes.
Here are a few of my own “stinky house” pics. Enjoy!
