Painting Guide - Safety And Cleaning Tips

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.
