Painting Tips and Secrets
I saw a super easy way to clean latex paint out of your brushes and rollers!! Put a half a cup of downy or other cheap fabric softener into a gallon of water and swish your paint brush around in there for at least 10 seconds!! And Voila!!! The paint comes right off!!! Shake the water out good (in a 5 gallon bucket or... so you don't make a mess) and your brush is FAB! I bought some downy yesterday to try this :o)
