Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material. Wash down any dirty or greasy surfaces with a suitable cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
- Fill & Sand: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For very porous or new plaster, apply a suitable primer or a diluted first coat (mist coat) of this paint.
- Stir Paint: Before use, thoroughly stir the paint to ensure an even consistency and colour.
- Application: Apply with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility
This washable matt emulsion paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is generally suitable for application over previously painted surfaces (emulsion), plaster, and wallpaper (if well adhered).
Care
- Cleaning Painted Surfaces: For everyday marks and scuffs, gently wipe the affected area with a soft cloth dampened with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously, as this may damage the matt finish. For more stubborn marks, a very mild, non-abrasive household cleaner diluted in water can be used, ensuring to rinse the area with clean water afterwards.
- Storing Leftover Paint: Close the lid tightly to prevent air exposure and store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Do not store below 5°C. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
