Hello,

I hope this is the right group to post - apologies otherwise.

I am going the walls of the room of my son. The harware store suggested
using silicone-containing water based paint, claiming it is easier to
clean by wiping. Although this sounds attractive, I am not sure how
"healthy" silicone is to be used in a child's room's painting.

I will appreciate any info/pointers deeply.

Many thanks in advance,
-arifi

Frankly, I would be inclined to an "eggshell" finish, which I've used
in kitchens and bathrooms where I need to be able to clean the walls.
The old "bad actor" used to be lead which was used as a pigment. Of
course, that is no longer used.

You are "goimg" the walls, , You need a paint store thats not bull
shitting you on products. Or a real Paint store.

What finish are you using. For kids rooms, semigloss is usually a good
choice. Use a decent quality but don't wipe/clean it hard for a month.

Frankly, since a complete painting novice, I was assuming that no
finish would be necessary after the claims of the hardware store
(supposed to be a good and big one - Bauhaus). My concern was more on
the potential health threats emerding due to the silicone content of
the paint ...
