Sherwin-Williams Has a New Sanitizing Paint That Can Actually Make Your Home Cleaner

You may have heard design experts tell you about paint colors that tend to make your home look cleaner, but now, thanks to Sherwin-Williams’ latest innovation, paint can now actually make your home cleaner. SuperPaint with Sanitizing Technology comes in 540 hues and applies just like standard interior latex paint, but there’s more to this paint than meets the eye. It can help rid the walls in your home of harmful bacteria, making it ideal for high-traffic areas in your home, like the entryway, kitchen, and bathroom.

This EPA- registered paint kills 99.9 percent of certain types of bacteria, including Staph and E. coli, within two hours of exposure. So if you just moved into a new home and want to ensure the bathroom is germ-free, a fresh coat of paint is a great place to start. Over time, if the painted surface is maintained and kept free of damage, it will continue to kill 90 percent of bacteria for up to four years. An added bonus: since this paint is available in a satin finish, the slightly glossy texture is easy to wipe clean. A paint that sanitizes your walls as it delivers a dose of color, and is easy to clean? It’s definitely a win-win.
