It is recommended to use this product within 6 months of purchase therefore, we are unable to accept responsibility for the deterioration of contents or packaging after this date.
Estate Emulsion is gently wipeable but not washable. Wipe gently with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Some cleaning solutions may mark the surface. Test on an inconspicuous area before use. Do not use bleach-based cleaning products. Please note that very matt finish of this paint will mean that some colours will become marked or scuffed when washed. As is standard for all decorative paints, we recommend that you leave a period of 2 weeks for the paint to fully harden or 'cure'. During this time, it is a good idea to treat the area with care and avoid using harsh cleaning.
