Don't let paint
harden on your brush |
| |
Wrap your brush
in cling wrap, if you take a break in
between painting, to
stop it from drying out. |
|

Clean all your tools immediately |
|
After painting, clean brushes and rollers immediately. Use turpentine to wash oil-based paint from brushes. Store flat or on their handles. Use water to wash emulsion paint from rollers. Hang them to dry to prevent crushing the pile. |

Storing unused paint |
|
Wipe the rim of the can clean and replace the lid. Place a block of wood over the lid and tap it down with a hammer to reseal. Invert the can for a few seconds to pevent a layer skin forming on the paint surface. Store in a well-ventilated place that is cool, dry and out of children's reach. |

Dispoing of paint safely |
|
Do not pour paint down the drain. Allow empty cans to dry out first and place them in double-lined rubbish bags before disposing. |
