Re: How do u clean walls with flat paint?

Honestly, flat paint is such a waste. It is near impossible to clean, and I'll never understand why people use it.

You are only going to get is so clean, and it tends, after time, to look spotted when you try to wash it, especially if just spot cleaning areas with marks on it.

Tolerate it or repaint it is the only real solution.

There are satin, semi-gloss, and gloss choices in paint. I have often painted walls with semi-gloss, and the shine dulls down rather quickly, but the clean up is so much easier, and the finish looks nice so much longer. I hate painting, so I want something that will clean easy and hold up for a long time, and flat just doesn't do that.
