How to Clean Flat Paint
In many homes, especially newly-constructed starter homes, the walls in bedrooms and living areas are painted with flat or matte latex paint. A flat paint finish is used because it rolls or sprays on easily and helps mask surface imperfections because it does not reflect light. If you cannot see any light bouncing off the finish of your painted wall, you have flat paint.
Unfortunately, flat paint is much quicker to show scuffs, smudges, and fingerprints than other types of paint finishes. It does not hold up well to moisture, which is why it is seldom used in kitchens and bathrooms.
