When painting, use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for eggshell finishes to prevent texture issues. For long-term care, simply wipe surfaces down with a soft, damp cloth as needed; the washable nature of the paint ensures that the finish remains fresh without requiring frequent repainting.
