Hello everyone,
before moving into our house, we applied smooth non-woven wallpaper and painted it with a wall paint that we consider good (Herbol Zenit Power). We decided against directly painting the smooth plaster because we hoped for a better appearance.
The appearance is now good, but the walls are incredibly sensitive. They react to touch almost like a blank sheet of paper. The slightest touch from hands leaves a visible grease film, and contact with clothing, bags, or similar (in the hallway) leaves gray/colored smudges. Despite a good wet abrasion class, the stains basically cannot be removed. For example, a bag fell over against the wall a few days ago – which immediately left a gray streak on the wall. The stains can be removed with a magic eraser, but the affected areas then look visibly "smooth." So that’s not a solution either.
We now have to repaint large parts of the house (children’s rooms, hallway, kitchen, stairwell, living room, bathrooms) after just under a year. We are considering using different products for the paint now. We were advised against latex paint (breathability of the walls). Are there other options to make the walls somewhat more resistant to dirt?
I look forward to tips and ideas.
Best regards,
Julian
