Amazing Painting Hacks Step by Step

About Amazing Painting Hacks Step by Step Android App

I recently had the pleasure of painting my home. We didn’t do anything fancy, but did change the colors in a few rooms. That being said, I had no idea what an undertaking it was just to paint a room a new color! Aside from the obvious choosing colors and purchasing supplies, there are so many things to consider when you decide to paint. What do you do when you spill paint on your furniture? How in the world do professional painters get such perfect lines? I wish I had thought of all these questions sooner but you know what they say…hindsight is 20/20.

So, if you’re ready, let’s talk painting hacks. I’ve found some wonderful tips that will help you to make your next painting job so much easier and some great ways to remove paint spills and other accidents that happen all too often when we take on interior painting. I hope these little tricks help you as much as they have helped me.

Create Solid Drop Cloth Corners

Drop cloths are great for keeping paint off your floors and furniture and they’re completely reusable…if you can get them folded, that is. A great trick is to tape cardboard to the corners of the plastic. The cardboard makes the plastic a big more foldable and makes it really easy to put the drop cloth away until next time.

Get Brushes Deep Clean

If you’ve ever painted with a paintbrush, you know how frustrating it can be to get all of that paint off the brush when you’re finished. Paintbrushes are tools that you can definitely use for more than one job, if you can remove all the paint, right?

Use Fabric Softener For Cleaning Brushes

You can also clean your paintbrushes with fabric softener. This is a great idea for those of you who don’t really like the smell of vinegar or paint thinner. Plus, fabric softener is a bit cheaper than paint thinner and you can use the cheap stuff from the Dollar Store.

Remove Paint Roller Fuzz

Paint rollers are great for covering large areas but the cheaper ones often have fuzz that can really mess up your paint job. Before you begin painting, take some packaging tape – that you can get at the Dollar Store for just a couple dollars – and use it like a lint roller on your paint roller
