FAQs
How washable is Crown Easyclean Matt Emulsion?
It is designed to be highly washable, approximately 200 times tougher and more washable than Crown's standard Matt Paint, allowing for repetitive cleaning without compromising the finish.
Can I use this paint on woodwork?
Yes, Crown Easyclean Matt Emulsion is suitable for application on interior wood surfaces, provided they are properly prepared and primed if necessary.
What is the best way to clean the painted surface?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Wipe gently and avoid abrasive cleaners or tools to maintain the paint's integrity.
How long should I wait before cleaning the walls after painting?
It is recommended to wait for the paint to cure fully, which typically takes 2-3 days, before performing any cleaning. For more thorough cleaning, wait up to 7 days.
What kind of finish does this paint provide?
This product provides a matt finish, which is a non-reflective, sophisticated look that helps to disguise imperfections on the surface.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While it is highly washable and durable, for areas with very high moisture or steam, a paint specifically designed for kitchens and bathrooms might be more suitable. However, it performs well in general living areas subject to frequent cleaning.
What other colours are available in the Easyclean range?
The Easyclean range is available in a variety of colours, including Botanical Extract (Green), Midnight Navy (Blue), Dash of Nutmeg (Grey), Mellow Sage (Green), White, Wheatgrass, and Antique Cream.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or uneven.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply in even coats using a consistent technique. Check for adequate surface preparation; uneven absorption can cause streaking.
Marks are difficult to remove.
Allow the paint to cure for at least 7 days before deep cleaning. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly firmer but still gentle wipe may be needed. Avoid abrasive materials.
Poor adhesion or peeling.
Verify the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from dust or grease before painting. Ensure appropriate primer was used if necessary. Check for compatibility with previous paint layers.
