Whitewashing is the process of covering a surface with a very thin coat of thin plaster made with water, lime and other ingredients. Whitewashing is used to color fences, wood, and most commonly, walls. Whitewashing is a fairly historic process, and most individuals choose to treat their walls and fences with more modern paints and finishes. One of the purposes of whitewashing is that it is antibacterial. Whitewash is composed of lime which has antibacterial properties. It can prevent moisture and mold from growing on the surface of walls, ceilings, and floors. Houses and barns are usually whitewashed so that they are protected from bacteria. If you want to renovate your old headboard, why not whitewash it? Now that we know a lot about the process and advantages, let’s take a look at whitewashed headboards.
