Odor Blocking Primers for Fresh as Spring Painting Projects

Spring brings new beginnings and is often the perfect time to tackle a painting project you’ve been putting off. If you have a room renovation project that includes the added challenge of ridding the space of stale smells or bad odors, KILZ^® Primers can help. From pet odor to the lingering smell of smoke (even long after the smoker is gone!), unpleasant odors can get stuck in your home and seem near impossible to remove.

Odor may penetrate fresh paint, so simply repainting the walls will likely leave you with a still smelly space. For a room that looks and smells as fresh spring, we recommend priming before painting. Priming provides a barrier that prevents odor from penetrating fresh paint and KILZ offers several primers with the ability to block medium to severe odors. So which primer is right for your project?

If you’re looking for a heavy-duty odor blocking primer, KILZ^® Original primer is a great choice. Trusted by pros for over 40 years, it has excellent sealing properties and can block heavy odors and stains.

Working on a project outdoors? KILZ^® Original Interior | Exterior primer offers the heavy-duty power of KILZ Original in an all-weather formula with excellent adhesion to both interior and exterior surfaces.

For spaces or areas that might be sensitive to solvent odors, KILZ^® Original Low Odor is an interior oil-based stain and odor blocking primer that puts off less odor than typical oil-based primers.

Looking for a water-based primer? KILZ Restoration^® is a new generation water-based primer, sealer and stain blocker that offers the performance of traditional oil and shellac-based primers. It tackles tough stains and seals persistent pet, food and smoke odors. It can also be used to block odors from subfloor when replacing carpet or wood flooring.

If your next painting project includes tackling lingering odors, you can breathe easy knowing that KILZ primers can help you get the job done.
