The present invention relates to a coating composition having a coating base and 0.1 to 10% by weight of an additive compound, based on the total solids weight of the coating, where the additive compound is at least one of an alkali metal salt of poly(meth)acrylic acid or copolymer thereof, ammonium compound or amine salt of poly(meth)acrylic acid or copolymer thereof, silicone polyether, alkali metal salt of silicone polyether carboxylate, ammonium compound or amine salt of silicone polyether carboxylate, salt of hydrolyzed α-olefin/maleic anhydride copolymer, salt of esterified α-olefin/maleic anhydride copolymer, α-olefin/maleic anhydride copolymer amic acid resin or salt thereof, polycarboxylate calcium sequestrants, or mixtures thereof; and where the coating base is an architectural paint, architectural stain, or architectural clear coating. Such coatings exhibit improved stain cleaning performance. |
