I recently moved into a new place, and the owner used LATEX paint on every wall in the apartment. It is bugging me. It's impossible to wipe anything down without removing the paint, and it eventually looks discolored. How am I supposed to clean the bath and kitchen walls, if the pain continues to rub off?How can I clean latex walls without removing too much of the paint?
latex is the common paint used in rental units. the only thing is that the areas that would come in contact with water, such as the kitchen, bath and laundry rooms should have been painted
with semi-gloss, not flat as you seem to be describing. maybe the land lord was not aware of his painters error and you should address it with him/her.How can I clean latex walls without removing too much of the paint?
if it s flat then repaint it with a paint with a higher sheen... cheap people use flat.. its cheap and non washable. or they used a real cheap paint.. some flat can be washed but if the paint comes off when cleaning it its cheap paint.....
if your kitchen and bath are not shiny, paint them a enamal latex...(p.s. the magic erasers are the best!!!) good luck
Try a damp Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
I take it you mean flat latex? and in the kitchen/bath. Here's a trick, take some liquid acrylic floor wax, dilute with water 20% and wipe on. The best solution is to repaint, with eggshell paint. Today most paint is 100% acrylic.
