Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint is engineered for the demands of a busy home, delivering both aesthetics and practicality. Its superior durability means it stands up well in areas like hallways, living rooms, and children's bedrooms, which typically see a lot of activity. The stain resistance is particularly beneficial in kitchens or dining areas where spills are more frequent, allowing you to quickly wipe away food splatters or scuff marks without damaging the paint finish.The anti-bacterial agent adds an extra layer of hygiene, making it a thoughtful choice for spaces where cleanliness is paramount, such as playrooms or even utility rooms. Its low odour and quick-drying properties mean less disruption during redecoration; you can paint a room and often use it again on the same day. The smooth, even coverage ensures that whether you're refreshing an existing colour or transforming a room with a new hue, the result is consistently professional and aesthetically pleasing. The 'washable matt' quality specifically means that unlike some other paints, cleaning doesn't lead to unsightly shiny spots, preserving the desired matt aesthetic.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, lightly sand to provide a key. For new, bare, or absorbent surfaces, apply a suitable primer or mist coat (paint thinned with water).
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller. For best results and even coverage, typically two coats are recommended.
Drying: Paint is quick-drying. Allow adequate time between coats (refer to label for specific times, typically 2-4 hours). Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is suitable for plaster, plasterboard, and other common interior surfaces. Not recommended for floors or areas subjected to constant immersion in water.
For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, as this may damage the paint finish over time.
Promptly addressing spills will yield the best cleaning results.
