Wash Away Those Annoying, Unsightly Wall Stains

Stains that stick. Unsightly marks that won't rub off. Splashes and spots in hard-to-clean places.

Yes, maintaining the clean look of painted walls can be frustrating. But these aggravations now are easily "washed away" thanks to the first-time use of Scotchgard™ Protector in a wall paint.

Ace Sensations™ Paint with Scotchgard Protector is a premium acrylic latex flat paint that, using advanced stain resistance technology, resists common household stains such as coffee, crayon, grape juice, fingerprints and even the hard-to-remove oily spots made by lipstick and grease.

"These stains as well as dirt and grime simply wash off the wall with soap and water thanks to Scotchgard Protector from 3M that's been used so successfully for years in maintaining materials such as fabrics and carpeting," said Darrell Parsons, Paint Manager of JS West Lumber & Ace Hardware, Sonora, Ca.. "Ace Sensations is a flat finish paint that resists mildew and can even be used in high moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

"This new paint is ideal for use in any room or household, especially if there are kids in your home who may view a wall as a canvas for artwork," added Parsons. "Fingerprint clean-up is especially fast and simple, too."

National home improvement expert and Ace Hardware's "Helpful Hardware Man" Lou Manfredini notes this flat paint actually cleans like a semi-gloss. "The benefits typically found in semi-gloss finishes, such as durability and easy cleaning, are featured in this paint as well," said Manfredini. "And, most importantly, a wall painted with Ace Sensations maintains its original appearance after cleaning."

Ace Sensations is available exclusively at participating Ace Hardware stores, such as the JS West Lumber & Ace Hardware at 730 South Washington St. Sonora, Ca. for about $26.99 a gallon.
