Product Information

Are your pens washable? Our pens are specially designed erasable whiteboard markers and we suggest only using our pens on the mats. They will wipe off the mats and hard surfaces such as wooden tables and walls but may be absorbed into fabrics. We cannot guarantee they will wash out of clothes; please supervise children when using pens. Over the last few years, I’ve noticed more and more professional painters embracing Johnstone’s new products with the Aqua Guard (satinwood) being another favourite of tradesmen. So what’s all the fuss about?

How big are the mats? The standard mats measure 40 x 30cm and come with four pens in a coloured felt pouch. Optiva 3 with its flat matt finish is an interior designer’s dream. Worth a buy if you’ve got the money. Is Scribble Mat™ suitable for children under 3? Scribble Mat is ideal for children over the age of three as they can comfortably hold the pens and are usually out of the mouthing stage. Young children must always be supervised with pens due to the potential for choking on a pen lid. At OfficeStationery we have a great selection of Desk Mats that are great for keeping your desk looking organised and stylish. We have these available in a range of styles, colours and materials which can add a surface to help protect your desk from scratches and marks. Desk mats also provide a pad of non-slip which can keep your papers from sliding around and getting jumbled or lost. Yes, I’ve noticed a big difference in it. It used to be brilliant and my go to paint. Now looking at changing again as there’s flashing happening above door facings, had it picture frame (even doing 1 wall at a time) and now showing up the slightest imperfections in walls.

I regularly use Macpherson’s Acrylic Matt because it’s ridiculously durable. Yes, it dries with a soft sheen but it’s a good trade off in my opinion. It covers in most colours in 2 coats which is a bonus.

Fantastic – No Plastic takes no responsibility and will not be liable for such inaccuracies. How do I clean the mats? We sell a custom cleaning cloth that can be used on our mats. The cloth can be used dry or if the pen has been left on for a while we suggest making the cloth damp. The cloth can be washed in the washing machine, but please put it into a pillowcase or smalls bag. We cannot guarantee that other brand pens will clean off our mats. Or you can use a baby wipe or damp cleaning cloth, they can even be washed in the sink or dishwasher up to 220c.

So why do professional painters opt for a trade paint like Crown Clean Extreme over ‘washable’ retail paints? Well, you will reduce overall maintenance costs in labour and material due to the longevity and prolonged aesthetics of the paint over a longer period. So whilst the initial cost of a paint like Crown Clean Extreme might seem high, overall it will provide you with more value over the long run. With 35% of the vote share from the 136 participants in our poll, Johnstone’s Acrylic Durable Matt is a clear winner, getting almost twice as many votes as 2nd place. To be honest, this doesn’t totally surprise me.

Reviews

Dulux’s Diamond Matt is one of the best washable matt paints on the market and is perfect for any DIYer. Taking the 4th and 5th spots are Tikkurila 5 and Tikkurila 3 with the professionals seemingly at loggerheads as to which one is the best washable matt paint. Perhaps the best feature fo the Diamond Matt (apart from it being washable of course) is the smooth finish you can achieve. Due to the consistency, it’s very rare that you’d get any brush or roller marks, especially if you’re using decent equipment.

Beyond the practicality of the paint, the Optiva 3 has a variety of stunning colours, especially with the current interior decor trends in 2021 (think dark blues and greens). Furthermore, the Optiva 3 has a dead flat finish (compared to the Optiva 5 which has a slight sheen to it) which is definitely “in” at the moment. In terms of application, it goes on very nicely and has decent enough coverage so a drop of paint goes a long way. It is a pricey product and unless you were going to be painting large areas, you might be better off giving this a miss as smaller quantities are simply too expensive. Tikkurila Optiva 3 (8% of the vote) Best Washable and Scrubbable Matt Paints 1. Johnstone’s Acrylic Durable MattWhilst we’ve used the paint a couple of times, we thought we’d reach out to self-employed professional decorator Chris Marsh for his opinion: Optiva 5 was clearly a big favourite amongst many decorators but it seems their recent batch isn’t up to standard. It’s very possible that they’ll tweak the formula in the coming weeks, however. Why are there limited pens? When we started we selected four main pen colours. The pens slot into the felt pouch with the mat making a complete portable product for storage and ease. More pens = more to lose, overwhelming for children, and less focus on the process of colouring. This way children can just colour without worrying about needing specific pens for the mat characters. Rainbow and stripy animals are fun! Whilst professionals have loved the Optiva 5 over the last few years, in May 2021 Tikkurila recalled the Optiva 5 due to complaints from many in the trade. The general consensus as of June 2021 is that the Optiva 5 has lost a lot of its quality due to changing the formulation of the paint.
