This paint is HORRIBLE. We bought a gallon of it at Green Depot in Chicago and used it in our bathroom. The odor is strong and it has not dissipated at all the past three weeks. What is causing the odor? My guess is that the unidentified -cides are doing it. Yes, this paint is not very 'green' after all. It contains fungicide, bactericide, mildew retardant, and preservative. What fungicide, you ask? Who knows! They don't get into specifics. I've emailed twice and gotten no answer, so I suspect it's bad. This is typical greenwashing, in my opinion: sounds great, but is actually full of crap. To make matters worse, we paid around $80 for this one gallon of paint (I know! We're suckers!) that we'll most likely have to paint over. We've used traditional milk paints purchased from Bioshield (they no longer offer it) and yes, traditional milk paints have to be mixed with water, go on unevenly, and can't be washed. But guess what? They don't contain unknown, possibly dangerous ingredients! They are in fact 'green.' Stay away from Anna Sova Paint. Truly! It's awful. nolakai on Jul 27, 2010
