• Keeping Tools in Good Condition: Painting tools and accessories can be used again by taking a little extra time to clean up at the end of the day or the end of the job.
• Latex Paint: Wipe all excess paint from the brushes or rollers onto brown paper. Clean-up brushes, rollers, other tools and hands with soap and water.
• If you have any paint left over, keep it for touch-up work later. Air trapped inside the can may cause a skin to form. This "skin" needs to be removed before using the paint again. Place a sheet of thin plastic wrap over the can and securely replace the lid.
• To assure durability benefits, wait at least two weeks before washing the dry paint. Wash surface dirt and marks with a mild liquid detergent and water. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge then rinse with clear water. Penetrating stains and marks can be removed with a diluted bleach solution. Use of abrasive cleaners may damage the painted surface.
