Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint is engineered for everyday life, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas such as hallways, living rooms, and children's bedrooms. Its washable nature means that common household marks – from muddy handprints to crayon art – can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth, restoring your walls without compromising the paint's integrity or colour.
For example, in a child's playroom, accidental scuffs or spills are no longer a major concern. The durable emulsion stands up to frequent cleaning, maintaining its pristine appearance. The quick-drying property allows you to apply multiple coats in a single day, significantly reducing project time, which is invaluable for active family homes. The low odour formula also means less disruption to your living space during and immediately after painting, allowing you to return to normal activities sooner. Its ability to provide smooth, even coverage ensures a professional-looking finish across various interior wall and ceiling surfaces, from plaster to previously painted walls.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For bare or highly absorbent surfaces, a suitable primer may be required.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
This paint is formulated for interior walls and ceilings.
Suitable for use on plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces.
Cleaning Spills & Stains: For most common household stains, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the matt finish.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, protected from frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
