FAQs
Is this paint safe for the environment?
Yes, it features a plant-based formula, making it a more environmentally conscious choice compared to traditional synthetic paints.
Can I use this on floors?
This specific variant is for multi-surface use. For dedicated high-traffic floor areas, please refer to the specialized Mylands Decorative Floor Satin product.
Does it have a strong odor?
As a plant-based formula, it is designed for a more pleasant application process with significantly reduced odor compared to solvent-based alternatives.
How should I clean the paint after it has dried?
Use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners as the dead-matt finish is delicate.
Do I need to prime the surface before painting?
While it depends on the surface condition, priming is recommended for raw or highly porous surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and finish uniformity.
Can I use spray equipment to apply this?
Yes, the formula is specifically designed to be compatible with professional spray equipment for a smooth, even finish.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush strokes or roller marks
Ensure you are using the correct nap roller for the surface texture and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.
Paint not adhering well to the surface
Double-check that the surface was properly cleaned and degreased; consider applying a primer if the surface is too glossy or porous.
Uneven color or streaking
Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure pigments are properly mixed, and apply in two thin coats rather than one thick coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best outcome, start by cleaning the target surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease, or peeling paint. If painting over porous surfaces, apply a suitable primer first. When applying, maintain an even stroke if using a brush, or use a medium-nap roller for wall surfaces to ensure full coverage. Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the formula from drying out.
