A wall paint with a high scrub class is more durable and reliable for such settings. Cleanable wall paint not only protects your walls but also enhances them with a fresh new colour.

Advice from the professional
Cleanable wall paint is designed to make regular cleaning easy. Special components are added to form a protective layer over the wall. Unfortunately, many brands claim their paint is washable, but in reality, it may only clean off specific stains, like mud. It’s essential to read the fine print.
Tip from the Paint Mixer
Measure the surface area you need to paint beforehand by multiplying the length and width of the wall. Typically, 1 litre of wall paint covers 7.5m². With 10 litres of wall paint, you can paint about 75m². Always check whether your wall is absorbent and requires a primer.
What types of cleanable wall paint are there?
Cleanable wall paint is a special category within wall paints. Paint is classified into scrub resistance classes, ranging from class 5 to class 1, with class 1 being the best. If your paint is class 1, it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth without affecting the paint layer. This prolongs the lifespan of the paint. The scrub resistance class is determined using machine scrubbing with an abrasive sponge. The longer the paint remains intact, the higher its scrub class.
What brands of cleanable paint are available?
Relius: While not widely known among private consumers in the UK, Relius is very popular among professional painters. Relius paint caters to all types of surfaces, from bathrooms and garages to interiors and exteriors. Relius stands out with its innovative wall paints boasting scrub classes higher than 1.

What colours of cleanable wall paint are available?
Cleanable wall paints come from various manufacturers, allowing us to mix them into any colour you require. However, if you opt for Relius Clean Coat 5, your choices are limited to lighter tones.
What is a scrub class?
Scrub resistance classifies paint based on how durable its surface is to cleaning. Classes range from 5 (lowest) to 1 (highest). With a class 1 rating, you can clean your wall with a damp cloth without damaging the paint layer. The durability of this layer ensures a longer lifespan.
Scrub-resistant wall paint class 1
Scrub class 1 wall paint offers the highest level of scrub resistance and is often recommended alongside superior coverage classes. This top-tier wall paint is durable, easy to clean, and suitable for high-traffic spaces like kitchens and hallways. Families with children or pets often choose this quality level.
Scrub-resistant wall paint class 2
Scrub class 2 wall paint is still a very popular choice and widely used across the UK. Paints in this category are easy to clean with a damp sponge or cloth, although it’s important to clean any stains promptly to avoid absorption.
Scrub-resistant wall paint class 3
Class 3 wall paint is less cleanable and typically found in DIY stores. These paints are often made from cheaper materials like chalk, which provides good coverage but attracts stains and is not washable. While there are also class 4 and 5 cleanable paints, we do not sell these due to their low quality.
