I find the anti bac has good coverage. The smell takes a couple weeks to disappear though. You need to get it up quick and roll on wet to avoid roller lines. The low sheen finish is probably a bit shinier than other brands and what I would prefer, and it does texture/orange peel more easily than other brands, but the colour is perfect and it is easy to clean compared to other paints. I’ve rolled it, sprayed it and also sprayed with an airless and back rolled and all methods work well. Spraying does tend to go through more.

I have just completed painting the 3 bedrooms in my house with Dulux Wash & Wear Low Sheen (Tranquil retreat grey) and found it easy to apply with good coverage ( 2 coats per room ). Re coat time was short, painted 1st coat in the morning and re coated the same afternoon ( hot weather ), time will tell of the durability but so far happy with the result achieved. Not sure why so many other reviews are saying 4 - 5 coats are required for even coverage (possibly people are skimping on equipment / prep or got bad batches of paint)? I am not a pro painter but did not find the product difficult to use.

We bought a new house and decided to repaint the entire house. We went with Dulux as we perceived it as a premium brand.

All I can say is we are bitterly disappointed with the product performance.

Very poor coverage and walls needed multiple applications to get average results.

Ended up switching to another brand to complete the job. Thankfully that product worked extremely well.

After painting the master bedroom with wash and wear we noticed a bad smell. We made a complaint to Bunnings and a dulux rep told us it was a bad batch of paint . He gave us a new batch at no extra cost and repainted the master bedroom and one of the kids bedroom. Now we have two rooms that smell like cat urine. I've had with dulux

I was super pleased with my final finish on my walls after using Wash & Wear Low Sheen. I love to read and found the Datasheet for the Wash & Wear which was super helpful. I suggest having a read before painting as many things can influencer your paint work. Thanks Dulux. One happy customer here.

I did all the recommended preparations but three coats later of Dulux Washand Wear Plus Kitchen and Bathroom paint and the finish is still slightly mottled. I could have used a cheaper paint and had a better result. Very frustrating and disappointing.

I have been using Dulux paints for about 45 years. Painting is just about the worst chore that a DIY can do, so the less often you have to do it the better. You cannot save money on paint - you get what you pay for. I have never had Dulux paint peel. A tip I learnt is never use ceiling white, use flat white instead, a bit dearer but smoother and easy to clean. I have only had one disaster where wall paint went on white and gradually go brown patches but it may be that I used part of a used tin that may have had rust in it. Sorry to read of so many dissatisfied users. My wife at times has bought other brands but I refuse to use them. I only rated it 4/5 for Value because it is expensive but it is good,

Have painted many houses in the past and never had a problem before. Now using this product I find the coverage poor. Painting over white interior walls with Hogs Bristle, after two coats it is extremely patchy and seems to be an array of different shades. Previous room took 3 coats to put a light grey over white. Looking for another brand. And what about my $176. My daughter also starting to renovate, just sent her text, avoid Dulux.

After asking pro painters advice they have all said Dulux. Despite some reviews on here I purchased Dulux Wash & Wear to paint my granny flat . My neighbour kindly helped me and couldn’t believe the excellent coverage. We have got away with only one coat on a slightly darker base colour with Natural white.
I sometimes wonder where some of these reviews stem from.

I’ve never had paint that has created the finish this paint has, did everything right, washed ceiling with sugar soap wiped clean with 2 buckets of water, patched and then lightly sanded existing ceiling white. Yet it is super streaky. Paint did seem to dry a lot faster than other paints I have used. Unfortunately I painted our 4 bedroom house with this paint and it took about a week to show itself. So dissatisfied should have just bought the elcheapo ceiling white that bunnings sells for $5 a litre!!! Used dulux wash and wear ( normal) on the walls and it looks great

The Wash and Wear name is not suitable for these paints, the marks cannot be removed from the walls. we have used "white on white" for the walls and after a weeks there is marks on it everywhere. It is hard to clean these marks. We just moved into our new home and it is already looking old.

The Theatre black you are not even able to remove the marks that the kids of done to the wall. we will have to repaint the whole room. I will never recommend this colour.

We spent $5,500 painting a whole house with Lexicon half strength and it's terrible. It has so much blue, grey and green undertones it's ridiculous. When we tested it, it was white, paint the whole house and it's anything but. We have told everyone not to use it and they haven't. They purchased Taubmans. We are stuck with this now and yes it's taken a year for the smell to go. Occasionally we get a whif of it. Please don't use this product. You'll be upset every time you walk into your house.

came back to Dulux paint only because of Dulux paint consultant advise on colour and discount offered, I am very meticulous when it comes to prep work and using the best gear to paint with, so using Dulux note the following
Used white base tinted to an off white mix,

1 coverage power is useless, off white even over a pastel colour it will take three coats
2 finish is very poor, and found the only way to get this paint to lay down without blemish is to add 10-15% Floetrol to mix.
3 If you want to see how a paint company can screw up a paint mix try Dulux

Dont waste your time and money

Leaves streaks and patches, the product should be withdrawn from the market.
Purchased a 10 litre can of the Whisper White, don't worry about the $170 how about all my time.

This paint is dreadful. Roller marks everywhere. Looks like the ceiling has been painted by a child. The paint is expensive, and useless. I have bought another brand to hopefully fix the problem. What a waste of time and money.

Worst experience with Dulux and still not taking responsibility for their bacteria-laden paint. They will not return calls and the painter blames everything on them as well, but still nothing from Dulux. Time for that class action lawsuit everyone is talking about.

Have been using this paint to paint our home(about halfway finished) and re opened the paint after it was sitting for about 1 month and it stinks!!! Not like a paint smell like a bad off spew like smell.

Has anyone else had the same issue.

I need more paint now but am considering using a different brand.

Applied 3 coats to Lounge room walls and the finish is terrible with streaks down the walls as if no paint was applied. Used a micro fibre 10mm roller as I have used numerous times before and finished is not good.
