Will I get shiny spots when cleaning latex?

Yes. This applies to all brands of latex, except satin or washable latex. These shiny spots can occur through contact/rubbing against the wall. They are particularly likely to be visible with dark colors such as black, blue, and brown.

We have a detailed explanation available from one of our suppliers about the sensitivity to shining and streaking. This is also an interesting document that precisely describes what scrub classes are. For our products we naturally use scrub class 1 (Scrub class 1 is different from washable latex).

If you want to be certain that this cannot happen in your home, it is best to have your entire home finished with semi-gloss or washable latex. However, the costs for this are approximately double the costs of regular latex. Hospital operating rooms and waiting rooms are finished with this type of paint. Most people choose to have only the kitchen done with washable latex.
