FAQs

Is Giotto School Washable Paint safe for children?

Can I use this paint on wood?

It performs best on paper and cardboard; while it may adhere to wood, the finish may vary based on the wood's porosity.

Does it wash off all fabric types?

It is formulated to wash out of most common fabrics, but results may vary on delicate or non-washable textiles.

What is the best way to store the bottle?

Store in a cool, dry place, keeping the cap tightly closed when not in use.

Is the bottle recyclable?

Yes, the bottle is made from bio-PET material, which is widely recyclable in most plastic recycling programs.

Can I mix these colors together?

Troubleshooting

Paint appears separated in the bottle

Gently shake the bottle vigorously for 30 seconds to re-disperse the pigments.

Paint is too thick for specific fine-detail work

Dilute a small amount of paint with a tiny quantity of water in a separate mixing tray.

Paint dried on clothing before washing

Pre-treat the affected area with a mild stain remover before running a full machine wash cycle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent coverage and color density
  • Easy to clean from skin and most fabrics
  • Ready-to-use straight from the bottle
  • Dries to a smooth, high-quality matte finish
  • Sustainable plant-based bottle packaging

Cons

  • Not intended for permanent outdoor architectural use
  • Requires machine washing for fabric stains
  • Limited to standard tempera applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, simply shake the 500ml bottle gently to ensure consistent pigment distribution. For optimal results, dispense the paint into a palette or a small container. The paint is highly compatible with standard brushes, sponges, and rollers. When finished, ensure the cap is tightened securely to prevent the tempera from drying out. If the paint gets on skin, rinse immediately with warm water and soap. For clothing stains, avoid letting the paint dry completely; machine wash the garment as soon as possible with a standard laundry detergent for best results.
