Fresher, Greener, and Healthier Paint Options for Your Home! 🌿

Odorless and anti-bacterial paints are now within your reach—here’s how to make them work for you!

Amoy pintura ba ang bahay niyo?

Did you know that there’s now a fresher and greener alternative when it comes to choosing the right paint for your home?

When you finally reach the finishing stages of building or renovating your dream home, picking your wall colors is one of the most exciting parts. It’s the moment you can finally bring your design vision to life—whether you’re going for a minimalist, Scandinavian, boho-chic, or timeless classic vibe.

But beyond aesthetics, there’s one thing many forget to consider:

Paint smell—and what it could mean for your health and comfort.

We’ve all experienced it. You walk into a beautifully staged house or condo, and everything looks perfect… until you’re hit by that unmistakable strong paint odor.

“Ay! Ano ‘yang amoy, Kuya?!”

Most of the time, you’re told: “Bagong pintura lang po yan. Mawawala rin yan in a few weeks.”

But let’s be honest—do you really want to wait weeks before your family can move in comfortably?
Would you rather burn more money on rent while airing out your home?
Worse, are you willing to risk your family’s health by inhaling chemical fumes from drying paint?

What’s in That Smell? Understanding VOCs

VOC or Volatile Organic Compounds are chemicals found in most solvent based paints and some water based paints to make it flow better, to help transport the paint from the container to the paint area, and to help make it dry as it evaporates and leaves the paint or color on the wall.

That is a very simplified definition but it helps point out that as you spread paint onto your walls, the VOCs are released into the air, most of it immediately but some considerably slower thereby posing some risks of being ingested by people in the room.

Now please note that most of these chemicals inside paint are released into the air as you paint over time. Ventilation and proper airing also helps.

Where you paint also matters as this will not be a relatively big concern if you are painting on exterior walls, a gate or even an open garage.

Nonetheless there are safer alternatives for your homes specially for your bedrooms or when you simply need to move in immediately or when you are repainting an occupied house.

Low VOC paints are a safer and smarter choice nowadays as consumers become more aware of the many ways choosing wisely can better protect our health and take better care of our environment.

Low VOC paints are healthier and greener options as they contain significantly low levels of chemicals as compared to traditional paints. Low VOC paints emit lower levels of chemicals into the air leaving your room fresher and healthier than traditional paint options. Many of these paints use eco-friendly materials and processes. This is a simple and significant choice that will help protect the environment and your families’ health for a very long time.

And the good news is you don’t even have to compromise on quality and aesthetics as many low VOC paints such as A-Plus Fresh & Green® Odorless and Anti-bacterial Paint offer a plethora of 42 ready mixed color options that will satisfy every taste and concept from the most trendy to the traditional.
