  Q   What is the difference between wash and scrub resistance?

Wash resistance, or better, “washability,” is the ease that dirt and stains can be washed off the paint.  How well the paint resists absorption of dirt and stains is part of it.  Scrub resistance is simply how well the paint will stand up to scrubbing without abrading through; it is not an indicator of how readily stains can be removed from the paint.
