FAQs

What’s emulsion paint?

Emulsion paint is water-based, meaning it’s ideal for walls and ceilings. The water-based solvent is combined with pigments and a binder, such as acrylic or vinyl, for durability, rapid drying and simplified maintenance purposes. Our collection is available in various finishes, including satin, gloss and matte.

Can you paint wood with emulsion?

While it’s possible to paint wood with emulsion paint, it isn’t recommended if you’re looking for optimum durability or a clean finish. However, to make it work, you can use a wood primer and a wood varnish for a streamlined look. 

How do you get emulsion paint out of carpet?

If you’re dealing with emulsion paint splashes or spills on your carpet, the best way to remove them is by blotting the patches with warm water and a mild detergent using a cloth. If the paint is already dry, gently scrape it off and then blot. Always rinse with clean water and pat dry when done. For tougher stains, you may need to go in with a specialist carpet cleaner.

What is the best way to remove smells from a kitchen sink?

Unpleasant odours coming from your sink are usually caused by a build-up of food waste in the sink waste pipe. To remove odours and clean your sink’s waste pipe, start by pouring bicarbonate of soda down the drain, followed by vinegar. Allow the mixture to fizz while you boil the kettle. After roughly 10 minutes, pour the boiling water down the drain to flush out the sink. 

How do you clean a kitchen sink drain?

To effectively clean your kitchen sink drain, start by cleaning the outside of the drain using a cloth and household disinfectant. For a deeper clean, you can turn off your water and disconnect your sink’s waste pipe, using a cloth to clean the underside of the drain.

How do you seal a kitchen sink to a countertop?

To seal a kitchen sink to your countertop, first secure the sink in place and attach any taps or pipes. Then use a silicone sealant to run a bead of silicone along the back edge of the sink. Smooth down the sealant for a secure, watertight finish.
