Setup, Compatibility & Care
For best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and primed with the recommended Farrow & Ball undercoat. When applying, use high-quality brushes or rollers to ensure even pigment distribution. The paint is compatible with a variety of substrates, but always verify the specific paint type (e.g., Estate Emulsion vs. Eggshell) is appropriate for the intended surface. For ongoing care, light cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is typically sufficient for emulsion finishes. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the pigment and finish over time.
