How do I clean the painted surface?

The paint is washable. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away marks and stains. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this paint suitable for all surfaces?

The paint is suitable for most interior surfaces including plaster, drywall and previously painted surfaces. Proper surface preparation is essential for the best results.

What is the coverage of the paint?

Coverage varies based on the surface, but typically, 1 litre of paint covers approximately 13 square metres.
