Blue painter’s tape protects the metal band around a paintbrush and speeds up cleanup.
Home-repair expert Kaile Warren provides quick tips for cleaning up of grout.

  • Never mix grout in glass or metal containers. Always use plastic and push the sides of the container in to crack the dried grout and then peel it away.

  • To keep the metal band on a paintbrush clean, wrap it before painting with blue painter’s tape.

  • Never slip a brush full of paint into the freezer to use later. The latex paint will freeze and contaminate the bucket of paint.
