Product Information
Full details
The GoodHome Limerick Soft Sheen Emulsion is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to refresh their interior living spaces with a durable, sophisticated finish. Its primary benefit lies in its balanced soft sheen, which provides a subtle luster that is easier to wipe clean than flat matt finishes, making it perfect for high-traffic areas like hallways or kitchens. However, users should be aware that the soft sheen finish may highlight surface imperfections on walls that are not perfectly prepared, necessitating thorough sanding and patching before application.

FAQs
Can this paint be used in bathrooms?
While it is designed for general interior walls and ceilings, consider the humidity levels. If the bathroom is well-ventilated, it may perform adequately, though a dedicated kitchen/bathroom paint is often recommended for high-moisture areas.
Do I need a primer for this paint?
If you are painting over a new, unpainted surface or a drastically different color, a primer is highly recommended to ensure even coverage.
How many coats are typically required?
Two coats are generally sufficient for full coverage, though darker colors or very porous surfaces may occasionally require a third.
What tools should I use for application?
A medium-pile roller is best for walls and ceilings, while a synthetic brush works well for cutting in around edges and corners.
How long does it take to dry?
Touch-drying usually occurs within a few hours, but it is best to wait at least 4-6 hours between coats for optimal results.
Is the finish washable?
Yes, the soft sheen finish is more durable and easier to clean than flat matt emulsions, allowing for light wiping with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks after drying
Ensure you are using the correct roller sleeve length and do not over-work the paint once it begins to tack up.
Uneven finish or patchiness
This is often caused by poor surface preparation or not stirring the paint enough. Sand the area and re-apply a fresh, well-mixed coat.
Paint dripping or running
You may be overloading your brush or roller. Apply thinner coats and build up coverage gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your walls or ceilings are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If the surface is porous, apply a coat of primer first. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. For maintenance, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution if needed, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the sheen. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out between projects.
