Nippon Odour-less All-in-1 Review: Is It Worth It vs Vinilex 5000?
Odour-less All-in-1 is Nippon’s near-zero-VOC, extremely low-odour matt wall paint with washability and anti-bacterial, mould-resistant protection. It’s worth paying more than for Vinilex 5000 if you’re painting while living at home, have babies, elderly family or asthma, or want walls you can wipe clean. For a low-sheen, highly stain-resistant finish in busy rooms, look at Odour-less Ultra Durable.

Odour-less All-in-1 vs Odour-less Ultra Durable
Ultra Durable uses Nippon’s DuraClean technology with a low-sheen finish and strong stain resistance. You can wipe off common marks with a damp cloth. It’s certified under the Singapore Green Building Product scheme. Choose it for high-traffic areas like the living room, dining area and kids’ rooms. Choose All-in-1 if you prefer a matt look that hides wall flaws.
Who should pay for Odour-less All-in-1?
- You’re staying at home during painting
- You have a newborn, are pregnant, or have family with asthma or allergies. See odourless paint in Singapore
- You want washable matt walls without a shiny look
- You’re painting bedrooms and nurseries that need to be slept in soon after
If you’re painting an empty flat before moving in, and budget matters, Vinilex 5000 on walls with an economical ceiling paint is a reasonable middle ground. Compare in Matex vs Vinilex 5000.
How much does it cost to paint a flat with it?
Painting service prices are driven mostly by labour. Choosing a premium odourless paint usually adds 10% to 25% to a full-flat quote. For reference, Nippon’s own HDB packages are tiered by paint line, with the Odour-less tier priced above its Anti-Mould and Washable tiers. Independent painters using the same paint are often cheaper. See the HDB painting cost guide.
Tips for the best result
- Fill cracks and sand before painting. Matt paint hides small flaws, not big ones.
- Seal patched areas and stains first.
- Apply two full coats, at least 2 hours apart.
- Keep windows open during painting even with low-odour paint.

FAQ
Is Nippon Odour-less All-in-1 really odourless?
Nippon describes it as having extremely low odour during and after application and near-zero VOC. Most people notice very little smell, but ventilation is still sensible.
Is Odour-less All-in-1 washable?
Yes. Nippon positions it as durable and washable. Wipe marks gently with a damp cloth.
All-in-1 or Vinilex 5000 for bedrooms?
If you’ll sleep in the room soon after painting or have young children, All-in-1. For an empty flat on a tighter budget, Vinilex 5000 is fine.
Can I sleep in the room after painting with Odour-less All-in-1?
Many people sleep in the room the same night with windows open. If you’re pregnant or have a newborn, waiting a day or two with good ventilation is more cautious.
