what's a good paint to prevent stains/marks

I LOVE the color in our house...but hate the paint that was used. You can't clean it and it stains SO EASILY!

Well, now it's time to paint the nursery & DD #1 room, so we want to definitely have something that is more kids friendly and easy to clean.

Thanks for the recs!!!!!

you should do something with a eggshell or semi gloss because you can wipe down the surfaces with out staining. I used Valspar paints in my living/dining room and front bedroom in eggshell used the magic eraser on all of the walls and no marks are left/no stains. On my BM flat paint in the bedroom you see some markings.

we have eggshell & love it. It's not shiny but easy to clean.

I have BM eggshell and have cleaned walls with a magic eraser...comes clean with no problems!

def do eggshell (I hionestly think Ben. Moore paints - we've tried them all and they work the best) not anything shinier b/c if its shiny, it shows any imperfections easier...my cousin who is a painter taught us that....(um, after we did rooms in it but I digress.. )
