        "text": "You can typically re-enter and light furniture can be moved back into a freshly painted room within a few hours after the final coat. However, the paint needs more time to fully cure and harden. We generally recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before placing heavy furniture against walls or hanging pictures, and up to a week for full curing before subjecting the walls to heavy use or cleaning. This allows the paint to achieve its maximum durability and finish.",
