If you are intending to paint your ceiling or walls, always remember that drips happen. To avoid having paint spills or drips on your flooring or carpet, have a textile cover it. Newspapers will do to; stick it calm with sticky tapes to avoid being swept by the air or an electric devotee.
Language of air or electric aficionado, make sure you have ventilation while painting.
Use facemask.
Before painting, slosh your painting brush in the solvent you will be using to clean it. For example, water for latex.
If you don ' t feel like cleaning your brush or roller after painting and expect to get back to painting within a few days, wrap it tightly in plastic bag and put in the freezer. DO NOT place the brush or the roller where your frozen goods are kept.
