Washable Wall Paints That Survive Kids and Pets in Austin Homes

August 24, 2025

Life with kids and pets is full of joy—and occasional chaos. For Austin homeowners, maintaining beautiful walls amidst spills, scratches, and paw prints can be a challenge. The solution? Washable wall paints that withstand the demands of a busy household while keeping your home looking pristine. Let’s explore how to choose the best paint, top brand recommendations, and why Borders Painting is your go-to expert for vibrant, durable interiors.


Why Choose Washable Wall Paints?


Washable wall paints are specifically designed for durability and easy maintenance. Unlike standard paints, they resist stains and scuffs, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and kids' rooms. With washable paints, you can easily wipe away dirt and marks without damaging the surface, ensuring longevity and maintaining aesthetic appeal.


Top Features of Washable Paints


  1. Stain Resistance: Advanced washable paints repel common household stains, from food splatters to crayon marks.
  2. Scrub-Friendly: These paints allow for frequent cleaning without wearing away the color or finish.
  3. Durable Finish: They offer enhanced durability, standing up to the wear and tear of daily life.
  4. Low-VOC Options: Available in low-VOC formulations, they are a safe choice for families and pets.


Best Brands for Washable Wall Paints


When it comes to reliable washable paints, Borders Painting trusts leading brands known for their quality and performance.


  • Sherwin-Williams Duration Home® Interior Acrylic Latex: This line is perfect for busy homes with its excellent stain-blocking technology and easy maintenance.


  • BEHR Premium Plus Ultra®: Known for its tough finish, BEHR’s line offers superior coverage and a washable surface that handles high traffic with ease.


Selecting the Right Sheen for Your Walls


Choosing the right paint sheen is crucial to achieving the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. Here’s a quick guide:


  • Matte Finish: Offers a modern look with minimal sheen but requires careful maintenance. Best suited for adult bedrooms or low-traffic areas.


  • Eggshell and Satin Finishes: Provide a slight gloss, making them more washable and suitable for living rooms or hallways.


  • Semi-Gloss: Highly durable and moisture-resistant, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and areas with high humidity.


Expert Tips for Painting with Washable Paints


  1. Surface Preparation: Properly clean and prime your walls to ensure the best adhesion and lifespan for your paint.
  2. Professional Application: Skilled painters ensure even coverage and a flawless finish, maximizing the paint’s washable qualities.
  3. Routine Maintenance: Regularly clean painted surfaces using mild soap and water to keep them looking fresh and vibrant.
