Use your scrubbing brush to remove any dirt or dust, as this will ensure your primer and paint dries properly when applied and has maximum effect. But remember, although the chalky paint is safe for painting fire surrounds, hearths, and radiators, these are not classified as heat-resistant or fire-retardant paints.

This will allow proper paint bonding. Laying down sheets around the area will catch any dirt, soot, and ash deposits as you clean the surface prior to painting, protecting your carpets or wood floors.
