        "text": "Proper preparation is essential for a durable and attractive bathroom paint job. This includes cleaning walls thoroughly to remove soap scum, grime, and mildew, then rinsing and drying. Any cracks or holes should be patched and sanded smooth. Loose caulk around fixtures should be removed and reapplied if needed. Taping off trim, fixtures, and protecting floors and vanities with drop cloths are also critical steps. Finally, applying a high-quality primer, especially over patched areas or if changing a dark color, ensures better adhesion and a uniform finish. City Dweller, LLC handles all necessary preparation.",
