This Johnstone's Anti-Bacterial Matt paint in Crushed Pineapple is designed for homeowners and decorators seeking a hygienic and durable finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the anti-bacterial formulation, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or rooms where cleanliness is paramount. A potential caveat is that matt finishes can sometimes be less forgiving of surface imperfections than glossier paints. This 2.5-litre emulsion offers excellent coverage and a lasting matt effect, contributing to a fresh and modern aesthetic.

While it has anti-bacterial properties, it is primarily designed for walls and ceilings and is not specifically formulated for high-moisture environments where dedicated bathroom paints would be more suitable. Ensure good ventilation.
The anti-bacterial properties are built into the paint formulation and are designed to last for the lifespan of the paint coating. Regular gentle cleaning helps maintain this.
Yes, but it is essential to prepare the surface first. Lightly sand the gloss paint to create a key for adhesion and wipe away any dust before applying the emulsion.
Drying times can vary based on conditions, but typically it is touch-dry in 2-4 hours, with recoating possible after 4-6 hours. Always refer to the product's specific instructions for precise timings.
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water and a little mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before storing.
Crushed Pineapple is described as a warm yellow. The final appearance will depend on the lighting in the room and surrounding colours.
Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush/roller strokes. Check for inadequate coverage and apply a second coat if necessary.
Verify the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from dust/grease). Ensure previous coatings were stable and not peeling. Consider using a suitable primer if applying to a particularly difficult surface.
This can occur if paint is applied too thinly or unevenly. Ensure full coverage with each coat and allow proper drying. Avoid touching up wet areas excessively.
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can damage the paint film.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For previously painted surfaces, a mist coat of diluted paint may be beneficial on new plaster or highly absorbent surfaces.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer instructions. Avoid applying in very humid conditions or at temperatures below 10°C.
Compatibility: This is an emulsion paint suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for exterior use or for surfaces subject to heavy condensation or prolonged moisture.
Care: To maintain the anti-bacterial properties and the finish, clean gently with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the matt surface.
