How to Stop Dust from Sticking to Walls, Baseboards, Trim, Doors, and Production Areas

Why walls, baseboards, trim, doors, and production areas collect dust, and how RepelX helps compatible painted surfaces hold less dust from static.

To help walls, baseboards, trim, doors, and production areas hold less dust from static, clean and prep the surface, choose a compatible interior latex or acrylic paint, mix RepelX at 1 fl oz per gallon, stir well, and paint as normal.

Why painted surfaces collect dust

Walls, baseboards, trim, and doors can build static charge as air moves across them. In homes that means lint, pet hair, and household dust. In shops, warehouses, and production areas it can mean heavier airborne particles landing on painted surfaces faster than expected.

Best time to use RepelX

Use RepelX when repainting or refreshing interior painted surfaces. It is mixed into the paint before you apply it, so the anti-static benefit is built into the dried paint film instead of wiped on later.

Simple process

Clean the surface, repair damaged areas, prime if your paint system calls for it, mix RepelX into the paint, stir for about 2 minutes, then brush, roll, or spray as normal.

Realistic expectation

RepelX helps reduce static cling. It does not seal out dirt, replace housekeeping, replace dust collection, or stop airborne dust from being created.

Quick Questions

Can I use RepelX on already painted surfaces?

RepelX has to be mixed into the paint before you apply it. It is not a wipe-on surface spray.

Does it work on walls, trim, doors, and production areas?

Yes, when those surfaces are painted with compatible interior latex or acrylic paint. For heavier dust environments, test a small side-by-side area first.

Will dust disappear completely?

No. The product helps reduce static cling, but every home, shop, warehouse, and production facility still needs normal cleaning and dust control.
