Designed for busy households and high-traffic areas, Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint offers a durable, easy-to-maintain finish that resists everyday spills and marks without compromising colour vibrancy.

Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint excels in environments where durability and easy maintenance are paramount. Imagine a bustling family living room, a hallway prone to scuffs from daily foot traffic, or a child's bedroom where creative messes are inevitable. This paint allows you to simply use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away spills and marks, preserving the aesthetic of your walls without the need for frequent repainting.
Its rapid drying time is a significant advantage, meaning you can often apply two coats within a single day, drastically cutting down project time. The low-odour formula contributes to a more comfortable painting experience, allowing you to reoccupy spaces sooner without lingering paint smells. The paint dries to a smooth, even matt finish, which not only looks professional but also helps to mask minor surface imperfections.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and grease. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth. For new, bare, or highly absorbent surfaces, apply a suitable primer or a mist coat (first coat diluted with up to 10% water) for optimal adhesion.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure a consistent colour and finish.
Apply Coats: Apply paint using a brush, roller, or spray gun. For best results, typically two coats are recommended. Allow sufficient drying time between coats (refer to the product label for specific times).
Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in the room during application and drying.
This emulsion paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is generally compatible with common indoor surfaces such as plaster, plasterboard, wood, and appropriately primed metal.
Prompt Cleaning: For best results, clean spills and marks as soon as possible after they occur.
Cleaning Method: Use a soft, damp cloth, possibly with a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap, to gently wipe the affected area. Avoid harsh scrubbing, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, which can damage the matt finish.
Drying: Allow the cleaned area to air dry naturally.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
