This paint is ideal for interior walls and ceilings. It's suitable for plaster, plasterboard, and other common interior surfaces. It's not recommended for floors or exterior use.

Simply wipe the affected area gently with a clean, damp cloth. The paint is formulated so that everyday marks and spills can be easily removed without leaving shiny patches or fading the colour. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Yes, the paint contains an anti-bacterial agent that helps to prevent the growth of bacteria on your walls, contributing to a more hygienic environment for your family.

This paint is quick-drying. While specific times can vary based on conditions, it's typically touch-dry within a few hours, allowing for subsequent coats. Always refer to the product label for precise recoat times.

For best results and full opacity, two coats are typically recommended. However, this can vary depending on the original surface colour and the desired finish.

Given its superior durability, stain resistance, and anti-bacterial properties, it is well-suited for areas like kitchens and bathrooms where hygiene and easy cleaning are important. However, it's not a specialist 'kitchen & bathroom' paint, so for very high humidity environments, a dedicated product might offer enhanced moisture resistance.

No, a key feature of Johnstone's Washable Matt Emulsion Paint is its formulation to ensure that everyday marks and spills can be wiped away without leaving shiny patches or causing the colour to fade, preserving the matt finish.

Ensure surfaces are properly prepared and primed. Apply paint evenly with consistent pressure, working in small sections. Allow sufficient drying time between coats and apply a second coat if necessary for full coverage.

Check room temperature and humidity; paint dries best in well-ventilated, moderate conditions. Avoid applying excessively thick coats, as this can prolong drying time. Ensure good air circulation.

For best results, wipe spills and marks promptly. Use a soft, damp cloth and gentle pressure. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, which can compromise the washable finish. For stubborn marks, a mild, diluted household cleaner might be used sparingly on a small, inconspicuous area first.

This paint is designed to resist fading and shiny patches when cleaned. Ensure you are not using harsh abrasive cleaners or scrubbing too vigorously. If the issue persists, ensure the paint was fully cured before the first cleaning (typically 7-14 days after application).
