Can lime paint be washed or cleaned?

Washability of Lime Paint

Limewash paint is known for its natural composition and breathability. While it offers a beautiful matte finish and mold resistance, it is less durable against washing compared to modern latex or acrylic paints.

Can lime-painted walls be washed?

Yes, but it requires a delicate approach. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth for light cleaning. Avoid aggressive detergents, which may damage the surface.

How to clean lime-painted walls?

• Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Use only water or a mild soap solution.
• Use a slightly damp cloth instead of scrubbing.
• Test on a small, hidden area before cleaning the full surface.

Can lime paint be sealed?

Yes, using the right sealer can improve water and stain resistance. Sealers help protect the surface but may slightly change the matte appearance of the paint.

How to apply sealer on lime paint?

• Use a product designed specifically for lime paint.
• Apply only after the paint is fully dry (a few days after application).
• Apply in thin layers to preserve the natural look.

Lime paint in humid environments

Limewash is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements due to its breathable and mold-resistant properties. For surfaces exposed to frequent cleaning, sealing is recommended to improve durability.

Maintenance tips

Wipe off stains gently and refresh the surface with a new coat every few years to maintain color and texture.

Why choose lime paint?

Lime paint is perfect for those seeking a natural, eco-conscious wall finish with timeless aesthetic and practical benefits.
