Product Information

Full details

The Crown Easyclean Matt Emulsion in White is designed for high-traffic areas in busy homes, offering exceptional durability and washability. Its key benefit is maintaining a freshly painted look for longer, even after repeated cleaning. A potential consideration is that its matt finish, while elegant, may show burnishing if vigorously rubbed in a single spot.

FAQs

What surfaces can Crown Easyclean Matt Emulsion be used on?

It is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wood, and metal surfaces.

How washable is this paint compared to standard matt paint?

Crown Easyclean Matt Emulsion is formulated to be 200 times tougher and more washable than Crown's standard Matt Paint, allowing for repetitive cleaning.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it is highly washable, it is best suited for walls and ceilings in general living areas. For areas with high condensation, a specific kitchen and bathroom paint may be more appropriate.

How should I clean the painted surface?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Wipe gently and avoid harsh scrubbing to maintain the matt finish.

What is 'burnishing' and how can I avoid it?

Burnishing is when the matt surface becomes shiny due to excessive rubbing. Avoid it by cleaning gently and avoiding vigorous scrubbing in one spot.

Do I need to use a primer?

Yes, it is recommended to prime bare surfaces with an appropriate Crown primer for best adhesion and finish.

What is the drying time for this paint?

Allow sufficient drying time between coats. Specific times will be detailed on the product's packaging.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and primed before application. Remove any dust, grease, or loose paint.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly and avoid over-spreading. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for matt emulsions. Ensure consistent application technique.

Matt finish appears shiny in certain areas after cleaning

This is known as burnishing. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding vigorous scrubbing or rubbing in a single spot. Allow the area to dry completely.

Paint appears too thick or difficult to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. If necessary, a small amount of clean water (up to 5%) can be added for thinning, but this may affect performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, light sanding may be required to ensure adhesion. Prime bare surfaces with an appropriate Crown primer.

Application: Apply generously with a brush or roller, maintaining even coverage. Avoid over-spreading. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Stir well before use.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wood, and metal. Not recommended for exterior use or for surfaces subject to heavy condensation.

Care: For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Wipe gently and avoid excessive scrubbing, particularly in one area, to prevent burnishing. Remove dust regularly with a dry cloth or a soft brush.
