If it is latex (water base) you can shower now. Since it is dried to the touch already, it is latex.
Look on the back of the can and you will see that the drying time for latex is about four hours. Do not try to clean it for one week, fully cured in thirty days. Oil base take 24 hours to dry but dampness will not harm it after a few hours.

Depends on what kind of paint you used. If its a water based paint, you have to wait for at least a couple of days for it to completely dry, the humidity from the steam will make it run. If its a latex paint overnight should be ok.
I better brush up on paints. All pun intended. LOL. I always thought they were different. LOL

I would wait at least 48 - 72 hours. I painted my kids room and the paint said to wait at least 3 days for any moisture. 30 days to be cured and washable.

traditionally they're held at approximately 36 weeks or so- because of the fact the mummy procedures finished term. whether it is replace into extra straight forward to have them a splash till now so as that the mum and dad to be will could return reproduction or undesirable products and set up each and every thing into the nursery and get settled with all of it in the previous the child comes. I plan to have mine approximately 31 or 32 weeks to grant myself time to get each and every thing washed, placed away and arranged with some extra advantageous buffer in case the child comes early. waiting till later additionally supplies the mum and dad of undertaking to be sure the intercourse of the child (often around 18-20 weeks) and enables human beings to make their purchases gender particular.
