FAQs

How do you clean a paintbrush?

After using water-based paints, all you need to do is rinse your paintbrush in warm, soapy water and gently scrub the paint off the bristles. If using oil-based paints, you’ll likely need to soak your brushes in a suitable solvent like white spirit, before washing them with soap and water. 

How do you soften a paintbrush?

The best way to soften a paintbrush is to soak it in warm, soapy water for a few hours. If still stiff, soak in a mixture of warm water, washing detergent or vinegar which both work as a conditioner. Rinse and leave to dry.

How do you keep a paintbrush from drying out?

So your paintbrushes don’t dry out, you should wrap the bristles in cling film or a sealed plastic bag. For shorter periods, you can always wrap them in a damp cloth instead.

What is the best way to remove smells from a kitchen sink?

Unpleasant odours coming from your sink are usually caused by a build-up of food waste in the sink waste pipe. To remove odours and clean your sink’s waste pipe, start by pouring bicarbonate of soda down the drain, followed by vinegar. Allow the mixture to fizz while you boil the kettle. After roughly 10 minutes, pour the boiling water down the drain to flush out the sink. 

How do you clean a kitchen sink drain?

To effectively clean your kitchen sink drain, start by cleaning the outside of the drain using a cloth and household disinfectant. For a deeper clean, you can turn off your water and disconnect your sink’s waste pipe, using a cloth to clean the underside of the drain.

How do you seal a kitchen sink to a countertop?

To seal a kitchen sink to your countertop, first secure the sink in place and attach any taps or pipes. Then use a silicone sealant to run a bead of silicone along the back edge of the sink. Smooth down the sealant for a secure, watertight finish.
