Q. Painting a room is such a hassle, but I can't afford a professional. What can I do to make it easier and less messy?
A. You can make painting less of a pain with some products you probably already have at home. Try these:
Lip balm Save hours of masking window glass by rubbing lip balm around the inside of each pane. When paint dries, score around the glass with a butter knife and peel away the balm and the excess paint.
Plastic wrap If you're painting the ceiling, press a piece on your glasses. You'll still be able to see. If paint splatters, you can peel off the plastic wrap and put on a new piece.
Nonstick cooking spray Spritz some on your arms and rub it in, and water-based paint won't stick -- just don't use the garlic flavor!
Kitchen garbage bag Make cleanup easy by sliding your roller tray into a bag, then pressing it into the tray to form a liner. Next, pour the paint in. When you're done, slip off the bag, turn inside out and toss.
Fabric softener If you're using water-based paint, swish your dirty brushes in a mixture of 1/2 cup fabric softener and 1/2 cup water. They'll come clean in 10 seconds flat.
