How to best maintain a painted wall?

This way, your wall stays beautiful, fresh, and stain-free for longer.

A painted wall largely determines the look and feel of your interior. But even with the best paint, a wall can show marks over time: fingerprints, playful hands, dust, cooking fumes, or minor damages.
Fortunately, with the right maintenance, you can keep your walls beautiful for years, without much effort.

In this blog, we share the best tips to keep your painted walls in top condition.

Choose the right finish for your space

Good maintenance begins even before you paint. The finish determines how easy a wall is to clean afterwards.

• Wall Matte: beautiful and soft, but more susceptible to stains.
• Wall Satin: more washable, ideal for busy areas.
• Wall Bathroom & Kitchen: easily washable, perfect for the kitchen, hallway, children's rooms or entrance.
• Wall Deco Lime Paint: lightly washable after using Wall Sealer.
• BRUUT: washable after using BRUUT Sealer.
• Texture Paint TERRA: lightly washable.

Grease stains or children's drawings? Here's how to tackle them

For stubborn stains: use a special wall cleaner product suitable for paint or mix a very mild soapy solution with natural soda (but don't use too much). Always test first on a small, inconspicuous area.

For pencil marks, a small amount of soft eraser can help, but work carefully.

Minor damage? Touch it up subtly

Small scratches, nicks, or dents can be easily repaired:

1. Fill small holes with fine filler.
2. Gently sand smooth.
3. Touch up with the same paint.

Tip: always save leftover paint from each project for touch-ups.

Ventilate your rooms well

Moisture, cooking fumes, and condensation can cause your walls to age faster.
Regular ventilation helps to prevent mold growth, avoid stains, and keep the paint layer looking good longer. In bathrooms and kitchens, good ventilation is even more important.

Protect problem areas

Some areas are more sensitive than others, such as: walls next to the bed, stairwells, children's corners, and kitchen walls. Consider using a more washable paint, an accent wall in a stronger shade, or even a partial wall protection (such as slats, tiles, or wainscoting).
