Leading researchers, including the CDC, know that the primary lead paint hazard in the home is the virtually invisible, fine particulate dust created when old paint deteriorates or is disturbed. The most important safety measure is to follow the 3 Cs: Control, Contain, and Clean Lead Paint Dust. And the easist way to do that is with LockUpLead™ Neutralizer. Use LockUpLead™ Neutralizer when scraping, or removing loose paint chips and dust before repainting, and to clean up the area of any dust following prep work or where lead paint dust and chips have accumulated. Misting plastic drops to neutralize chips and dust after prep work is a great way to neutralize the toxic lead and also prevent it from becoming airborne when cleaning up and disposing of drops. For larger jobs, use the 1-gallon or 5-gallon sizes of LockUpLead™ Neutralizer to refill 16 oz spray bottle, or use with a standard pump sprayer. It is recommended to remove only the loose paint necessary to prepare a good surface for repainting in order to minimize the amount of lead dust created.
