To solve your white patches problem, we recommend following these steps

Thoroughly clean the wall in circular motions using a wet cloth. Rinse frequently after wiping until water is clear. Leave the wall to dry thoroughly before painting.

Apply a coat of sealer to create a barrier against moisture, prevent water from entering the substrate, and enhance intercoat adhesion.

What causes White Patches?

White patches on walls is caused by water-soluble surfactant leaching from old paint film. When the moisture evaporates, this creates discolouration in the form of white patches on your painted walls. This often occurs in areas with high humidity, like bathrooms or kitchens, or if the walls have been exposed to water.
