"Straight From The Manual"
Trust me on this one, boys:
it pays to clean your tool
when the job’s finally done
even if you only dip it
in the old paintcan
once in a blue moon
or you’re one of those
six-jobs-a-day
touch up artists;
whether it’s a straight,
long-bristled detail brush
with a customized grip
or a nine-inch roller
you’ve been handling,
no matter what kind of
medium you’re spreading
—matte black or glossy white—
you’ll save yourself a big
headache later if you
wash it down afterwards.
And you guys with the big
power sprayers: remember
to wipe down your hoses
and flush them out often.
You don’t want them to
get all gummed-up and
rot away from the inside;
and pay special attention
to that tricky nozzle area.
Always remember this:
a well-maintained tool will
give you years of service,
but if you don’t scrub it
down between jobs
you’ll pay for it in the end.
