DESCRIPTION
Painted surfaces that are not easily cleaned of contaminants.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Low quality, porous paints that contaminants can penetrate into.
Using a flat finish on a surface that is constantly exposed to contaminants.
SOLUTION
Washability is the ease with which washing will remove dirt from the paint's surface without causing damage.
The greater the ease of soil removal with a minimum of film erosion, the greater the useful service life of the coating is expected to be.
Emerald® Interior and Duration Home® are washable coatings where contaminants sit on the surface and easily wash off without scrubbing the surface.

Because of their smooth finish, semi-gloss and gloss finishes generally clean easier than flat and low sheen finishes.
For areas subject to constant washing, alkyd coatings tend to be harder than latex coatings.
