Its robust formula ensures that fingerprints, scuff marks, and accidental spills can be effortlessly removed with a damp cloth, keeping your walls looking fresh for longer. The low-odour and quick-drying characteristics mean less disruption to your home during redecoration.

Prepare the Surface: Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and grease. Loose or flaking paint should be removed.
Fill & Sand: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. Wipe away sanding dust.
Prime (Optional but Recommended): For new plaster, porous surfaces, or if painting over a strong color, apply a suitable primer or a mist coat (paint diluted with 10% water) first. This ensures better adhesion and an even finish.
Masking: Use painter's tape to protect skirting boards, door frames, and ceilings.
Stir Well: Before use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even consistency and color.
This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most common interior building materials, including plaster, plasterboard, wood, and previously painted surfaces, provided they are properly prepared.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces: For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously, as this may damage the paint finish.
Storage: Store leftover paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Protect from frost.
Disposal: Dispose of unwanted paint responsibly at a local waste disposal facility. Do not pour down drains.
