Buying a top quality paint is a good way to minimise the number of
touch up jobs you'll have to do because of dirt or stains. Not only
does high quality paint have a greater ability to resist picking up
dirt, but when you do have a stain or dirt mark you need to get rid
of, it will come off more easily.

For areas around light switches and door handles where the paint immediately
surrounding can easily become marked with sticky fingerprints, investing
in a top quality paint is worth it. Potential grease marks are far
less likely to show up in the first place.
When a more persistent or nasty mark looks like trouble on your paint
work, wiping the surface using household cleaners may be a necessary
last resort. But: will tackling this remove half the paint as well?
Few paints can withstand persistent scrubbing, but acrylic paints
are often better, because not only do they stick well to the surface,
they also don’t leave behind major tell tale shiny scrub marks
when cleaned.
Finally, for those who burn candles, smoke or have dust coming from
chimneys , investing in a quality acrylic paint is a good way to ensure
that the slight yellowing that can easily start to become visible
especially on white ceilings and pale coloured walls around the smoke
area doesn't become a permanent feature. Speciality acrylic paints
can be formulated to be resistant to discoloration from tobacco smoke.

 Where
is good scrub and stain resistance really important?: Obviously,
key areas are those that are exposed to either a lot of wear
and tear, such as hallways, but also rooms where there is a
high likelihood of stains and smudges such as the kitchen. All
painted woodwork can look poor once badly scuffed or showing
chipped paint, so think about acrylic paints for things like
skirting boards, doors and door surrounds. |
What is the benefit of good scrub and stain resistance?
Being able to wipe off stains, scuff marks and dirt means your
surfaces stay looking good longer and you don't need to repaint
so often or continually do touch-up jobs. |
