Cleaning Up Paint Spills in Carpet, Part 1
Transcript:
A friend of mine was painting a room and she had no idea that her plastic paint tray had a crack in it. As she finished, she looked around and saw a bunch of paint spills all over her carpet. I'm Dan Hansen and this is a minute at RepcoLite Paints sponsored by Benjamin Moore.
Over the next few days we'll talk about the best way to remove paint spills from your carpet. First, though, let's talk 4 quick steps to help you preven a spill in the first place.
We'll get the first two today. And let's start here: Always use a dropcloth. Even if it's a small project. Even if you think you don't need it. Always use a dropcloth.
Second, use a metal paint tray and a tray liner. Plastic trays are good for a few projects, but a lot of us buy a tray and keep it for years. If that's you, spend the extra dollar or two and get a metal tray. Plastic trays can crack--especially as they're kept and used for years. Metal pans are much more durable and there's much less risk. Tomorrow we'll hit two more prevention steps. I'm Dan Hansen and that's a minute at RepcoLite.
