Do this first
Replace or clean HVAC filters, wipe vents, vacuum fabric-heavy areas, use a damp microfiber cloth on walls, and reduce dust sources in the room.
Why dust sticks to walls
Static charge can make fine dust cling to painted walls instead of falling away or wiping off easily. That is why some rooms look dusty again soon after cleaning.
When RepelX helps
RepelX helps when you are repainting. Mix 1 fl oz into 1 gallon of compatible interior latex or acrylic paint, stir well, then paint normally.

Dust collecting on walls FAQ
How do I stop dust from collecting on my walls?
Start by reducing dust sources: clean or replace HVAC filters, wipe vents, vacuum fabric-heavy areas, and wipe walls with a damp microfiber cloth. If you are repainting, RepelX can help compatible interior painted surfaces hold less dust from static.
Why does dust stick to painted walls?
Dust can stick to painted walls because of airflow, dry rooms, fabric lint, pets, construction dust, and static charge on the painted surface.
Can RepelX be added after the wall is already painted?
No. RepelX is mixed into compatible interior latex or acrylic paint before applying it to the wall. It is not applied over already dried paint.
