An easy way to refresh your home is by painting the walls. To make this process as easy as possible, it’s important to keep a tidy workspace. If you follow these three simple tips, you can avoid the mess, making your painting experience effortless.
Tip 1: Protect Your Floors
Before opening the paint can, make sure to protect your floors. An easy way to do this is to cover them with rosin paper. If you're painting your baseboards, the paper can also help you get sharp edges.
Tip 2: Preserve Your Tools Between Coats
To avoid your brushes drying between coats or dripping all over the floor when not in use, reach for your MARSHALLTOWN Paint Brush and Roller Savers. These handy bags feature an easy drawstring closure to seal brushes and rollers, keeping them fresh while you step away for a short break or even a few days. Conveniently, you will only need to clean your tools if you are changing the paint color or when the job is complete.
Tip 3: Prep for the Clean-Up
Grab your MARSHALLTOWN paint cleaning tools ahead of time, so clean-up is a breeze. It will be helpful to have the disposable MARSHALLTOWN Heavy-Duty Paint Tray Liners and Pail Liners. These liners allow for quick color changes and keep your tray and pail free of paint.
MARSHALLTOWN has a variety of paint applicator cleaning tools, designed specifically for the job. The MARSHALLTOWN Roller Cleaner features two tools in one. First, use the scraper end to remove excess paint. Then, slide the Roller Cleaner over the roller cover and attach a standard garden hose to the threaded end to make cleaning faster and easier.
The MARSHALLTOWN 2-in-1 Brush and Roller Cleaner spins to dry out your paint applicators before you store them for the next job. It works with both brushes and roller covers.
Overall, these tips are simple and don’t take a lot of time. However, they will be the difference between a stressful paint job and an effortless one.
