The best washable paint deals with us
The washable paints from our own brand VP (Verfmenger Prof) are relatively affordable compared to brands like Sikkens or Sigma. VP strikes the right balance between price and quality because all its wall paints have a coverage class 1, while the prices remain at the lower end of the market. We collaborate with top manufacturers to create our own products. Since these are our own products, we can set the prices ourselves, making this professional brand affordable. You can also find the best deals on washable paints on our webshop weekly. If you're looking for the most suitable paint for your kitchen wall, we recommend the Relius Clean Coat 5. This paint boasts an even higher scrub resistance than class 1 and delivers an extra matte finish.
Did You Know?
Did you know that washable wall paints from DIY stores tend to be of much lower quality? Always opt for a professional washable wall paint that has been tested and proven!
Washable wall paint
Washable wall paint is a type of wall paint that leaves no room for stains – that's what makes it a washable paint. Often, washable wall paints use more durable materials, which is why they tend to cost more than standard wall paint. However, if you'd like a washable paint for cleaning stubborn stains effectively, it’s well worth the investment!
Tip from the Paint Mixer
Choose the best product in the market! Relius Clean Coat 5 is an "industrial washable wall paint." A major advantage of this wall paint is that it’s suitable even for use behind a kitchen counter. It cleans effortlessly and also has a fine matte finish!
Washable paint
Looking for a paint that is fully washable? Nowadays, most paints meet this criterion. Additionally, most interior paints and lacquers are scratch- and wear-resistant. This ensures your paint remains easy to clean and neat-looking with just a damp cloth.
Sigma washable paint
Sigma washable wall paint or Sigma paints designed for areas exposed to constant dirt are a solid choice. Think kitchen walls or schools where fingerprints often appear on the paint. Sigma washable wall paint is stain-repellent, helping to keep your painted surface clean and fresh.
Washable latex paint
What’s the difference between washable latex and washable wall paint? The distinction lies in the material. Latex is a raw material typically used to manufacture paint or wall paint. These days, the best washable paints are acrylic-based rather than latex-based.
Flexa washable paint
Want Flexa’s washable paint or Flexa washable wall paint mixed into a specific colour? Unfortunately, Flexa’s washable paints don’t meet the professional standards we aim for. Flexa products, in general, fall into the DIY category and can’t guarantee the ultimate washability expected from a wall paint.
Histor washable paint
Similarly, Histor washable paint also does not meet the quality we want to provide. Like Flexa, Histor is primarily sold in DIY outlets such as Gamma or Praxis. Therefore, Histor washable wall paint is of lower quality compared to that of professional washable paints.

Advice from the Professional
Washable wall paint is designed to make cleaning a breeze. Special components ensure there’s a protective layer over the wall. Unfortunately, many brands claim their products are washable, but in reality, that’s not always true. For example, some are only suitable for cleaning mud stains. Washable paint must have a scrub resistance class of 1. Such paints are perfect for frequent cleaning needs, like in kitchens. Think carefully about this when selecting paint for your project. Washable paints protect your walls while adding a fresh new colour.
Tip from the Paint Mixer
Measure the surface area you need to paint in advance, by calculating the length x the width of each wall. Each wall paint typically covers 7.5m² per litre. With 10 litres of paint, you can cover about 75m². Always check whether the walls are absorbent and might require a primer.
What types of washable paint are there?
There are various types of washable paint, but one product stands out above the rest. These include washable wall paints with a scrub resistance class of 1 or even higher, such as Relius Clean Coat 5. Below, we detail what makes washable wall paint unique, all available to buy from the Paint Mixer.
Cleanable wall paint: Cleanable wall paint is a separate category within wall paints. Paint is classified by scrub class, ranging from class 5 to 1, where class 1 is the best. Having a class 1 scrub rating means you can easily clean your walls with a cloth, without damaging the paint layer. This extends the durability of your wall paint. The scrub class is determined through machine-scrubbing with an abrasive sponge. The longer the paint layer stays intact, the higher the scrubbing class.
What brands of washable paint are available?
Relius: This brand is relatively unknown among private customers in the UK since it is primarily used by professional painters. However, it excels in the kitchen paint category. This is because Relius Paint has a solution for every surface, from bathrooms to garages, and from interior walls to exteriors. Relius stands out because it offers wall paint with scrub resistance higher than class 1.
Sikkens: Sikkens is well-known among professional painters for its top-notch varnishes, and their wall paints include kitchen-specific options. Among them is the Sikkens Alpha Rezisto Anti-Marks paint, designed for easy cleaning without leaving visible streaks.
Sigma: Just like Sikkens, Sigma Paint is famous in the painting industry for its quality products. They offer different types of washable paint for various purposes.
VP: VP stands for Verfmenger Prof, a brand we’ve created in collaboration with professional manufacturers. VP paints are true quality products, with all wall paints boasting coverage class 1 and some even having scrub class 1. Sold at friendly prices, VP paints are an ideal choice for kitchen walls that require robust scrub resistance.
What colours of washable paint can I order?
Washable paints are produced by various brands and can be mixed into any colour you’d like. If you opt for the top-quality Relius Clean Coat 5, however, you will only have a selection of lighter colours available.
What is a scrub class?
Paints are categorised by scrub resistance classes, starting at class 5 and going up to class 1 (the best). Paints with scrub class 1 support better cleaning with a cloth, without damaging the layer, making them more durable. Scrub class is determined via machine-scrubbing with an abrasive sponge. The longer the paint layer remains intact, the better the scrub rating.
What scrub class do I need?
You’ll need a paint with scrub class 1 or higher, like the Relius Clean Coat 5. Such paints are ideal for frequently cleaned spaces like kitchens. Pick a high scrub-resistant wall paint to safeguard your walls and add a fresh touch of colour to your kitchen.
What is the top-sold product at Paint Mixer?
