After use
Cleaning After Final Use: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after final use to reuse them for future projects, saving you money and reducing waste. Cleaning Steps: 1. Remove Excess Paint: Scrape off leftover paint into a container for reuse. 2. Wash with Warm, Soapy Water: Clean brushes and rollers with warm soapy water in a sealed container like a bucket or tub. 3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse out all soap and paint residues into the same container. 4. Dry Naturally: Let tools air-dry and store in a dry, dust-free area. Dispose Responsibly: Settle Solids: Let paint solids settle at the bottom of the container. Pour off clear water for reuse or disposal. Disposal: Let remaining paint solids dry fully before disposing of them as solid waste. Do not flush paint down the drain, including when cleaning painting tools Pro Tip: Watch this cleaning guide from the British Coatings Federation and Dulux Connect contractor Bagnall’s: https://coatings.org.uk/general/custom.asp?page=HowToCleanPaintbrushes

Storing & Responsible Disposal
Do not use or store paint in extreme temperatures and protect from damp & frost.
Reuse, Recycle, or Donate- Whenever possible, reuse, recycle, or donate leftover paint. Find local services at recyclenow.com. If no Community RePaint service is nearby, consider advertising paint locally—many good causes need it to brighten community spaces.
Dispose Responsibly- Never pour paint or wastewater down drains or sinks. Follow instructions at recyclenow.com to recycle empty packs.
Reuse Roller Cages- Remove sleeves and store cages in a dry, dust-free place.
Dispose of Unusable brushes and Sleeves- If brushes or sleeves cannot be cleaned or reused, dispose of them in general waste to avoid recycling issues.
Paint Wash Water- Collect wash water in a container; don’t pour it into drains or on the ground. Let solids settle, pour off clear water for reuse or disposal, and let solids dry before disposing as solid waste.
Do not flush paint down drains, including when cleaning tools.
