Reusing Paint Trays
One of the worst aspects of painting your home is that someone won’t be doing the work for you, and you will be responsible for the clean-up.

Paint trays may be reused in various ways, but the most effective strategy is to keep them clean in the first place. You can cross “clean paint trays” off your to-do list by simply lining the tray with a plastic bag or foil.
