EPA tested and registered, Sherwin-Williams® Paint Shield® was developed for use in hospitals and health-care facilities.

Microbe Protection with Sherwin-Williams® Paint Shield®
Sherwin-Williams® Paint Shield® has the ability to kill certain types of harmful bacteria within two hours of exposure.
In addition to brightening your home with a splash of color, paint offers protection from the build up of mold, moisture and dust on interior and exterior walls. Sherwin-Williams dramatically increased the efficiency of paint products with the release of a microbicidal paint product.
Microbicidal Paint
Find out if microbicidal paint is the right interior paint option for you.
When it comes to choosing paint for the interior of your home or business , the many elements of the decision can feel overwhelming. From finding shades that complement the furniture and interior design nicely, to pricing each brand and getting clear on texture, there are many decision points that play a role in interior paint selection. For organizations like hospitals and schools, these projects can be large undertakings due to the sheer size and total area of the interior walls.
Although they can be overwhelming, options are a good thing. In the last few years, a new option for interior paint has been developed, and it goes beyond simple qualities like color and durability. In addition to style and professional quality, some paint projects can even offer health benefits. With microbicidal paint, you can rest easy knowing your interior paint is working to kill harmful germs and bacteria within your home or business.
What Is Microbicidal Paint?
Some paint, such as Sherwin-Williams® Paint Shield®, has the power to kill bacteria on the surface of your walls. Paint Shield® is EPA-registered and is the first paint that can kill 99.9% of bacteria¹.
The implications of this new paint technology are groundbreaking for hospitals, schools, nursing homes, and personal residences. With the power to kill harmful bacteria, microbicidal paint can drastically improve health conditions and patient outcomes within hospitals. The CDC estimates that about one in every 25 US hospital patients contract at least one infection while in the hospital². Every effort to cut down risk for patients and staff is crucial.
Within two hours of exposure, microbicidal paint kills 99.9% of bacteria such as:
- Staph (Staphylococcus aureus)
- E. coli (Escherichia coli)
- MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
- VRE (Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis)
- Enterobacter aerogenes
At home, most people have become more cautious than ever before about keeping surfaces and shared areas clean. However, in most households, individuals still do not take the time to regularly wash or disinfect their walls - especially not every two hours. Now, microbicidal paint options provide a great way to stay on top of disinfecting practices within the home.

How To Use Microbicidal Paint
Microbicidal paint is just as easy to use as any other type of paint, and can be applied in all the same places as well. Whether you’re only painting your walls, or whether you’re also painting doors, ceilings, and trim, microbicidal paint can be used the same way as any other interior paint. For best results, begin with a primed or painted surface and apply two coats of paint. For large commercial projects or extensive residential paint jobs, consider hiring an expert painting team to take the stress off of your shoulders and ensure a high-quality outcome. When you work with Painter1 of Nampa/Meridian, we follow all product recommendations to ensure a beautiful and professional interior while respecting your budget.Is Microbicidal Paint A Good Choice For You?
If you’re a property manager or owner of a building such as a healthcare facility or school, consider adding an extra layer of protection by choosing a microbicidal paint. With areas seeing high traffic and high-stakes variables such as patients’ and children’s health at stake, opting for microbicidal paint can make all the difference in keeping your staff and patients or students healthy.
As a homeowner, if you’re drawn to the bacteria-killing effects of microbicidal paint but aren’t ready to overhaul your home’s interior, consider transitioning just a few rooms to microbicidal paint first. This technology goes a particularly long way for the health of the household when the paint is applied in spaces like the laundry room, bathrooms and kitchen. With 550 color options, you’ll find the perfect shade for your interior design dreams.
Whether you’re eager to adopt new microbicidal paint technology or you’re simply ready for an interior design overhaul in your home or commercial space, leave your painting project in the hands of tried and true professionals at Painter1 of Nampa/Meridian.

The work crew of Painter1 did a fantastic job of painting parts of the interior of our home. They stayed focused on their assigned duties and worked very well as a team. My wife and I would recommend Painter1 to anyone who is looking for a top notch painting company for all of your painting needs. Jerry & Lavon Berger— Jerry Berger

It was an excellent experience with the company (Painter1). The management and the painters were very punctual with all aspects of the job, from the initial estimate through job completion. The painters demonstrated excellent work ethic throughout the job, only stopping each day for a short lunch. In fact, they were able to complete the estimated 5 day job in 3.5 days, and the results were excellent. We are using them for two more major projects.— Gary Overton

I used Painter1 to fix a terrible finish on my custom cabinets. My kitchen is very sunny and the sun had spidered the paint on many of the doors. Some of the doors had to be refinished twice to make sure none of that showed thru the new finish. The crew did the extra work to make sure I was happy with the end result. The entire experience was positive from the bid, scheduling the job, and working with the project manager and crew. Even with the extra work, they finished within the expected timeline. I would highly recommend this company.— Jen Carroll

Painter1 did a great job painting our kitchen cabinets. They look fantastic! Their crews were always on time and easy to work with. Once the walkthrough was completed they packed up everything and were on their way. I would recommend them for your next painting project!— Jacob Thompson

A stellar company all around. Jeff and Nikki are fantastic in communication, which ranks pretty much #1 on my list of priorities when hiring a contractor. I had a 85 room hotel that needed a full interior paint job and Painter1 rose to the occasion. Our target was to get the job done in 10 weeks, Painter1 were in and out within 6. They actually pushed us to shorten our timeline for all the other contractors so the process could keep going without a halt. A RARE accomplishment in any construction/re-model project. Absolutely amazing team to work with. Very nice crew. Helpful and didn't need to micromanage. They showed up when they promised to show up and did they work they promised to do. Will hire them again in a heartbeat for all future projects. Thank you Painter1!— Shamik Patel

They were awesome! Someone was with us from the beginning to the end to make sure everything went smoothly.

We got three quotes for a complete overhaul paint job on our home . Painter one came back with a reasonable, fair price. They were on time, communicated with us very well and there no surprises . The crew was hard working and polite. They went above and beyond for us when we requested a few unforeseen extras . I highly recommend Painter one. Dallin the General Manager was a pleasure to work with as was the paint crew. In a world where it’s hard to find quality, honest work, these gentlemen went above and beyond!— Jennifer Beard

Unfortunately we have had some poor experiences with painters. After we had to fire our previous painting company we were left in the middle of a half finished job. Juan and the crew were a breath of fresh air. They came in and fixed the mistakes and finished the rest of the job. Will definitely use them in the future!! Thanks!— Gilbert Jackson

We had our interior painted and let me tell you this company was amazing! They showed up to do our quote and had us scheduled immediately. The crew was amazing. They were on time every day and made sure we were happy with the work. The office checked in multiple times with us to make sure we knew what was going on. These guys are professionals! We can’t wait for them to come back this summer and do our exterior paint! 10/10 recommend!— Courtney Thomason

Extremely professional from start to finish. On site project manager Keslee was excellent in coordinating our needs. Juan and Alfredo arrived on time and were extremely personable and professional. We are highly pleased with the entire process and results. Will use this business again in the near future and will request their help with other painting needs at my rental properties.— Hal A

From the moment I contacted Painter1 they were the epitome of professionalism. Response to my estimate request was immediate. Dallin was on time, highly informative, courteous, professional, and responsive to all my interior painting requests. Juan & Alfredo, the painting crew spent 3 days at my home & were a pleasure, always on time, respectful of my property, and helpful. After application of the 1st coat I hated my color choice. Dallin was so understanding and wanting to ensure I would be satisfied, allowed a delay of the 2nd coat for a couple hours while I "tested" two more colors to make a final decision. These guys consistently went p"above & beyond", they are great!!!— Leslie Laraway

We used Painter1 to paint the exterior of our hose last year. This year we hired them for the interior. We would highly recommend them. Both experiences were great.— Sarah Klein
Posted February 17th 2022
We highly recommend Painter1! We updated our stair railings and hired Painter1. They are very professional and did an excellent job! Dallin came over to give us a free quote. He provided a quote via email explaining every detail of the job, what the quote includes and doesn't include and cost. After we accepted the offer, we worked with Keslee who helped coordinate the day and time to do the job. She was very friendly, professional and quick to respond to my texts. Since we wanted the bottom of the stair railings to match our baseboard color, I worked with her on making sure we had enough paint. Keslee arrived to our house with Juan and Alfredo. She made sure everything was in order and asked if we had any questions. Great project manager! Juan and Alfredo were amazing too! Their work is exceptional and our stair railings look awesome! Thank you Painter1! We would definitely hire you again for future painting jobs!— Tj Yudman
