STEP 7 – Clean Up and Properly Disposal of Paint

Water-based/Waterborne paints make cleaning up afterward fast and easy.

Clean any spills immediately with a damp cloth before they dry. Clean brushes, roller covers and any other tools used with soap and water before they dry as well.

PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE ENVIRONMENT

  • Try to only buy the amount of paint that you will need for your project to minimize any excess disposal.
  • Save small amounts of leftover paint for any future touch-up needs. To keep the paint fresh for future use, it is recommended that you 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. Make sure to check your local garbage ordinance and rules. Make sure to leave the can open with the lid off the container so the garbage collector can see that the paint has dried in the can.
