I’m a DIY pro & this £2 trick that makes your decorating look professional, it’s a game changer & you probably own one
YOU don’t have to be a professional to get your home in great shape.
By learning hacks, decorating tricks, and making sure you have enough time on your hands – anyone can make their home look like a professional has done it.
But if you still need to learn about the best ways to decorate your home, then luckily the painting and decorating experts at Toolstation are here to help.
And they’ve even suggested a surprising hack which will help massively when painting.
They have said there’s a kitchen item that can be picked up for just a couple of pounds can help you achieve a professional finish when painting your home:
The experts said: “It might surprise you to hear, but a kitchen sieve is part of many professional painters and decorators’ toolkits.
“Metal sieves can be picked up in supermarkets for just £2, and can be used to strain the paint before you start work.
“Old paint can collect dust and debris over time, as well as flecks of dry, hard paint.
There’s nothing worse than being left with a ‘bitty’ texture to your walls
Toolstation experts
“Even brand new paint usually contains small lumps which can prevent you achieving a perfectly smooth result.
“There’s nothing worse than being left with a ‘bitty’ texture to your walls.
“To try this hack, simply position the sieve over a clean paint scuttle and pour the paint through.
“Safely dispose of any particles that get caught in the sieve and start painting.
“After use, simply clean the sieve with warm soapy water or brush cleaner.
“Unlike tights and stockings which were used by some decorators to strain paint for many years (and which had to be thrown away each time) a metal sieve can be used over and over again – far more sustainable.”
