STEP 7 – Clean Up and Properly Disposal of Paint
Water-based paints make cleaning up fast and easy. Clean any spills with a damp cloth before they dry. Clean brushes, rollers and other tools with soap and water.
PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT
- Try to buy only the amount of paint you’ll need for your project.
- Save small amounts of leftover paint for future touch-ups. To keep the paint fresh for future use, put a layer of plastic wrap over the mouth of the can before replacing the lid securely.
- Cans with completely dried paint residue may be disposed of in ordinary household trash. Leave the lid off the container so the collector can see that the paint has dried.
- Never pour leftover paint down a drain on into a storm sewer.
