With dirt-resistant and washable wall paint, you get a durable wall that is easy to wash and clean, making it completely stain-resistant. This wipeable paint is ideal for your interior walls.

What makes washable paint so special?

If you paint your walls with washable wall paint, they can be easily wiped down with a damp cloth. Thanks to the smooth texture of this scrub-resistant and robust paint, it is exceptionally easy to clean. And there’s no limit to how often you can wipe it down.
Although this hard-wearing wall paint is similar in performance to latex paints, unlike latex, it has a flatter, more matt finish and can be easily painted over. With dirt-resistant paint, wall stains are a thing of the past.

Which walls can I paint with durable paint?

Hard-wearing wall paints are particularly recommended for high-traffic rooms where walls are exposed.
These include:

These washable wall paints are not paints in the traditional sense, but breathable wall paints. Thanks to their smooth surface, steam and toothpaste splashes can be wiped away effortlessly. But they are also perfect for kitchens or children's rooms, where the odd spill or stain is bound to happen.

If you also have tiles in your bathroom and shower that you want to beautify, paint them with our hard-wearing tile paints. You can wipe them down with a damp cloth, and they easily withstand normal moisture levels.

Our robust and washable wall paints have another special feature: if you ever grow tired of the shade, you can easily paint over it. So why not dare to try a bold shade? Maybe green, blue, or pink instead of classic, neutral beige.

Of course, you can also give already-painted walls a fresh new look with our paints. It doesn't matter at all whether the surface was previously painted with emulsion or another wall paint.

When is the best time to use dirt-resistant paint?

Washable and dirt-resistant wall paint is ideal for interior walls that are exposed to heavy dirt and grime. This could be in the dining room or the wall directly behind your kitchen bin. Wipe-resistant paints are particularly useful and practical in the kitchen.

And if your dog loves to rub against the hallway wall after an autumn walk, leaving wet mud and water behind, you should definitely opt for our wipeable paints. The Functional Wall Paint! is a wall paint that is also highly suitable for commercial properties. The communal staircase in an apartment building, a clubhouse, or your surgery's waiting room can all be decorated with this scrub-resistant wall paint, which is available in our entire range of colour samples.

You can easily wipe away dirt and stains from the painted walls. It doesn't matter whether your walls are plastered or wallpapered; you can paint directly over them with our paint for plastered walls or our paint for wallpaper and woodchip.

Choosing the right paint for high-traffic walls

Even if you know you want to paint your walls with a hard-wearing interior paint, the question remains: which paint is best for the job? Different rooms face different levels of wear and tear, and require varying levels of durability.

Painting with washable paint: a few tips for application

Our hard-wearing wall paints are just as easy to apply as all our other wall paints. The key is having a stable, load-bearing surface that isn't too absorbent. Because our wall paints have excellent coverage, you don't need to paint over old, bold shades with white paint first. Use a small roller for water-based paints to paint smaller areas quickly. For larger walls, a paint roller is ideal.

And if you ever change your mind about the shade later on, you can easily paint over the scrub-resistant wall paint.
