Actually washable paint recommendations?

I'm looking for recommendations for paint that is actually washable - for bathroom and also non damp rooms. My kids are mucky pups and my walls depress me because they seem to latch onto any dirt forever and a day and nothing will shift it.
Does anyone have paint that has stood up to multiple mucky hands/feet/etc and been able to wash/clean marks off properly and repeatedly?
Thanks

Johnson's acrylic durable matt has so far survived multiple Weetabix attacks, pasta sauce splats, smoothies and yoghurt from my one year old and wiped clean each time. We've only had it on the kitchen walls a few months but it looks good as new still.

That sounds good!

I used F&B oil eggshell on my hall walls. You can literally scrub them & they come up perfect.

Wickes Tough and Washable. It is literally amazing. I’ve had Admiral, a navy blue, in my hallway for three years now. I wipe with a warm soapy cloth and it looks freshly painted.

That diamond point dulux one has been fabulous- I've got a cream matt on my walls.

I had a Wilco silk in the kids room which coped with vomit...

Great - lots of suggestions to look at - thanks!

The valspar premium paint is very washable too! X

I have Isomat matched to F&B (recommended by decorator) and seems to be surviving two energetic DS. A friend's child vomited 🤢 and it hit the wall. She was reluctant to scrub it but I told her to go ahead and the paintwork was fine also. Great finish too.

Dulux easycare has been fab for us.
