Spending time choosing not only how we’re going to decorate our rooms, but the materials we use, means we can take pride in our homes and enjoy our interiors every single day. It seems a shame then, that our efforts can be let down so easily when it comes to scuffed paintwork or dirty fingerprints on the walls.
Without forever touching up those knocks and scrapes, it’s hard to know how to avoid them, but we have found a solution that will save you time, money and effort – and leave you feeling reassured that your freshly painted walls will stay in top condition for years to come.
Introducing easyclean®, the washable paint range from Crown. Specially formulated so you can wipe down walls quickly and easily, this range differs from others on the market when it comes to just how tough it is. Easyclean® has been named as Crown’s toughest and most washable range yet and it’s 200 times tougher than a normal matt paint, meaning you can wipe your walls clean over and over again without it affecting the overall paint finish. So, whether you’ve noticed some grubby hand prints in the bedroom or food splashes on the kitchen walls, you’ll be able to wipe them off in a flash, leaving no trace of the marks behind.
When it comes to the paint itself, you’ll be spoilt for choice with 50 colours available – plus, as it’s suitable for use on multiple surface types, you can use the exact same paint shade for your walls, wood, ceiling and metalwork.
No need to take our word for it though, as easyclean® has been independently tested and awarded a ‘Rated’ badge by Mumsnet* for being the best stain- and scrubresistant formulation available, meaning busy family life need not impact the beauty of your home, leaving you free to enjoy clean walls and quality time with loved ones.
