Johnstone's Trade StainAway Matt - Brilliant White - 10 Litres

It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, wood, and previously painted surfaces in good condition.

Most common household stains can be removed using a damp cloth with mild soap. Wipe gently and rinse with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

It is suitable for general interior use. However, for very high-moisture areas like shower enclosures or behind sinks, a more specialised, moisture-resistant paint is recommended. Ensure good ventilation.

Drying times can vary based on conditions, but typically it is touch-dry in 1-2 hours and recoatable after 2-4 hours.

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal stain resistance and a uniform finish. However, coverage may vary, so check the opacity after the first coat.

Yes, it provides a durable matt finish that is ideal for interior ceilings.

The key difference is the advanced StainAway technology, which makes the paint film more resistant to penetration by common stains, allowing for easier cleaning compared to standard matt emulsions.

Ensure the paint is applied evenly with consistent brush/roller strokes. Avoid overworking the paint, especially as it starts to dry. Ensure adequate lighting during application.

Check surface preparation. The surface must be clean, dry, and sound. Inadequate priming or painting over a glossy surface without preparation can cause adhesion problems.

This may indicate that a stain-blocking primer was not used on particularly stubborn stains prior to applying the emulsion, or that the stain has bled through multiple coats.

This can occur if the paint was applied too thinly or if coats were not applied evenly. Ensure recommended coverage rates are followed and apply a second full coat if necessary.
