FAQs

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, Dulux Easycare Bathroom paint is formulated for both walls and ceilings in bathrooms.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times can vary. Typically, it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours and recoatable after 4 hours. Always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can.

Can I use this paint in a kitchen?

While it is designed for bathrooms, its washable and stain-resistant properties can make it suitable for kitchens. However, it does not have specific kitchen-rated features like extreme grease resistance.

How do I achieve the best smoothing effect?

Proper surface preparation is key. Ensure walls are smooth, clean, and free from imperfections before painting. Applying two even coats will enhance the smoothing finish.

What is the coverage of a 2.5L can?

A 2.5L can typically covers approximately 12-13 square meters per litre, meaning one coat should cover around 30-32.5 square meters. Coverage may vary based on surface porosity and application method.

Does Sapphire Salute have a strong odour?

Dulux Easycare paints are generally formulated with low VOCs. While there may be a slight odour during application, it is typically minimal and dissipates quickly once dry, especially with good ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering evenly.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Stir the paint thoroughly and apply a second coat if necessary. Use a high-quality roller or brush.

Mould appears shortly after painting.

Ensure the bathroom has adequate ventilation. Clean the affected area thoroughly with a mould remover and reapply paint, ensuring the underlying cause of condensation is addressed.

Paint appears patchy or streaky.

This can be due to insufficient stirring, uneven application, or inadequate preparation. Ensure the paint is well-mixed and apply in smooth, even strokes. Check for any remaining dust or debris on the surface.

Difficult to clean marks.

While the paint is washable, some stubborn stains may require a gentle detergent. Avoid aggressive scrubbing. Ensure the paint has fully cured (which can take several weeks) before attempting vigorous cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure walls and ceilings are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For best results, apply a suitable primer, especially if painting over a dark or uneven surface.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, working in a criss-cross pattern for even coverage. Two coats are generally recommended for optimal colour depth and protection. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the product instructions.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings in bathrooms and other high-moisture areas. Not recommended for use on furniture or exterior surfaces.

Care: To clean, use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
