Painting Tips
- Cleaning Up
If you are planning to continue the work the next day,
just keep the paint and roller in the paint tray and cover
with a tray lid or cellophane. The next morning run the
brush or roller over a newspaper a few times and it will
be ready to use.
After the job is completed wash the rollers and brushes
and paint tray with water. Do not use a spinning tool to
clean brushes as this will make your brush flare. Wrap the
clean brushes and rollers with newspaper and secure with a
rubber band. Store the brushes flat or hang them on hooks.
Excess paint can be stored in the can. If you have no
further use for the paint donate it to a charitable
institute or in the case of water based paint pour over
shredded newspaper or cat litter and throw the paper or
cat litter in the trash. If it is oil based paint it
cannot be thrown as it is considered a hazardous
substance. Make enquiries with you local council as to the
best way to dispose of it.
