We use Cloverdale Paint. The most common product that we use is Super Acrylic II. This is a 100% acrylic latex paint that is durable and washable. It can be tinted in almost any color. Be aware that the darker the color the less washable it becomes. When you go to a really deep color there is a large amount of tint that is put into the can. That tint is what causes the challenge for washability. One of the other challenges with darker colors is burnishing. This happens when a wall is scrubbed hard and it creates a glossy surface that can be noticeable.

Typically walls are painted in an eggshell finish and doors and trim are semi gloss. The glossier the paint the more you can scrub your walls without burnishing them. On the flip side if you choose to use a glossier paint on the walls be prepared to see more imperfections. No wall is perfect. Our opinion is for walls use a higher end eggshell finish. One other note of interest is it is important to allow 30 days to pass by before you start washing walls. That is the time that it takes for the paint to cure. If you can wait longer than that it would be even better.

Left over paint should be kept at your home so that when the walls get some minor damage they can be repaired and repainted with the same paint that was originally used. If you are changing colors and no longer have need for the paint it can be taken to the local recycling depot where it is recycled. Never pour paint down a drain or onto the ground. There is no cost to take the paint to the recycling depot.
