We recently read with interest a piece in The Guardian regarding â5 ways to make your home less toxicâ.
Itâs a good article with some sensible advice, however thereâs an important point it doesnât address regarding âeco-friendly paintsâ.
The dangers of "eco-friendly" or "natural" paints
It is a common misconception that natural ingredients are the safest, but many âeco-friendlyâ or ânaturalâ paints contain ingredients such as casein, which is a dairy-based product that can actually encourage the growth and proliferation of moulds in the home. As mentioned in the article, these can release spores that float in the air and can be detrimental to your health. In effect, these natural paints can inadvertently create the toxicity youâre setting out to avoid!
Uniquely antibacterial
By contrast Little Knights was a product born of frustration as the lack of a truly safe and high-quality paint for the domestic market. Developed by our very own Mark Gardner, a pioneer in the design, manufacture and supply of bespoke coatings and additives, Little Knights is uniquely antibacterial, formaldehyde-absorbing and 100% VOC-free. Furthermore, it is kinder to waterways.
Little Knights carefully combines the best natural ingredients with carefully researched, high quality modern ingredients to create the safest possible product.
