Scrubbable Paint

June 6, 2023

Scrubbable paint is an ideal option for kids' rooms, where walls serve as canvases awaiting creativity from crayons or markers. This kind of paint resists moisture, stains and wear for long-lasting and fresh appearance.

Washable and scrubbable are terms commonly associated with interior paint products; however, not all have the same washability specifications.

Durability

Washable and scrubbable paint products have become ubiquitous, yet there is a distinct distinction between them. Washable products are designed to dislodge common household stains with minimal physical scrubbing while scrubbable products withstand rigorous wiping without losing colour - ideal for high traffic areas that must remain spotlessly clean.

Many scrubbable paints feature a sheen that helps hide surface imperfections, making them an excellent choice for walls with imperfections. Furthermore, the reflective light also helps brighten and open up a room more quickly.

Farrow and Ball's Modern Emulsion paint is an outstanding example of durable one-coat paint with excellent coverage, ease of application and good resistance to scrubbing. Although more costly than similar offerings on the market, its performance stands up well against others we have tried and its wide range of contemporary colours make us happy to recommend it to our customers. Additionally, its scrubbable quality also makes it a good solution for giving old appliances new life at a fraction of the cost associated with replacing them altogether.

Stain Resistant

Washable or scrubbable wall paints are specially formulated to resist discoloration from staining while standing up to repeated washing and scrubbing, helping save homeowners money over time by eliminating the need for frequent repainting.

Stain-resistant paints usually feature either a semi-gloss or glossy sheen to resist discoloration from fingerprints, food splatters, dust and other indoor pollutants.

So a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth should suffice to maintain clean walls in areas such as kitchens and children's rooms that receive high traffic volumes.

Easy to Clean

While washable paints are great for surfaces requiring regular wiping down, scrubbable products are made to withstand much more abuse and are measured using their scrub count rating system, which measures how often the surface can be rubbed without breaking down and losing color.

Scrubable paints make an excellent choice for children's rooms and bathrooms, high traffic hallways or living rooms and living room areas that need regular scrubbing. When scrubbing, be sure to use non-abrasive sponges and mild cleaners like non-toxic hand soap or natural degreasers when cleaning with this method.

Scrubbable products from our range come in matte, eggshell, satin and semi-gloss finishes - providing an economical alternative to older or dingy wall paints. However, matte emulsions require special care; wash with mild dye-free hand soap or detergent mixed in hot water for best results.

Versatility

Versatile staff members can add tremendous value to a business. For instance, project managers who possess both written and spoken communication abilities as well as IT expertise can bring great benefit by lending these abilities towards other projects within your company.

When painting an area of your home that requires intensive cleaning and scrubbing, look for paint with a scrubbable coating rated 1. This paint can withstand even the hardest wear without leaving marks or stains behind, which may not be ideal in low traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms with frequent traffic but washable options might suffice in low traffic spots like closets that only need occasional wipedown. When it comes to high traffic rooms like kitchens and bathrooms, however, using scrubbable coating can ensure they will keep looking brand new for longer!
