Cleaning Bathroom Paint Tools

Video Transcript

"So everything is looking great in here. Our final step for our bathroom project will be to clean our tools. We will be using this roller and this brush. You have invested a little bit of money and you want to preserve your tools for your next project so the first thing that we want to do is just rinse it off with warm water and we want to get all the paint out of this. We want to make sure that we get all the paint out of the bristles. That is pretty important. They sell brush combs and steel brushes that you can actually really use to actually dig the paint out if you need it but for our project here I didn't find it necessary. They have brush cleaners on the market but it is really not necessary, any soap will do. Shampoo is really helpful too. You just want to pour the soap into the bristles and then sort of just lather it up with some warm soapy water will do the trick. Make sure to get in between all in there with some warm water and finish it off. We've been cleaning with the warm water. It is nice and squeaky. There is nothing in it. See the water is nice and clear. You want to finish with just cold water. Finish with cold water and you just keep the bristles nice and straight. The cold water will prevent the bristles from fraying. Now you want to, like I said before, you want to save the packaging from your brush and you want to put it right back in there and what that is going to do is that is going to keep the bristles from getting damaged when you store your brush between projects. Last but not least you want to just give the roller a little bit of a wash and basically you are just washing the excess paint from out of the mechanism so it is not dripping. Give it a quick wipe with your rag and you're done. Okay so that concludes our painting the bathroom project. Hope you learned something. Happy painting to you."
