Default Ionizer & matt emulsion

Talking to someone today who had bought an Ionizer. Within a few
weeks of using it, the matt magnolia emulsion on the nearby walls has
gone a dirty grey/blackish colour. Nearer the ioniser the worse it
was.
New one on me, anyone heard of this effect before?


Yup. Ended up having to redocorate the room as a result. The really,
really fine dust gets into the texture of the paint and won't wash
off without putting a seriously odd looking 'shine' on the paint.


Ah. They tried to wash it off & made it look worse. Does another coat of
emulsion cover it up?

Ioniser was binned. Never again.


Thats what they have done :-)
