Regular maintenance of tools and equipment used in the course of do it yourself projects will ensure that they are ready for use the next time they are required. Similarly, this also offers the greatest guarantee that the tools will last for a long period without needing to be replaced.
Paintbrushes and Rollers
Immediately after use, clean paintbrushes and rollers in paint thinner or white spirit for oil-based paint and water for water-based paint. If necessary, use a wire brush to separate the bristles during the cleaning process and thoroughly dry the bristles before storing them.
Oil Moving Parts
The moving parts of tools and appliances can suffer wear if they are not taken care of properly, which may be as simple as the application of a lubricating oil.
Sharpen Blades
Blades of tools, such as secateurs, will need to be sharpened on occasion for them to remain effective. This can be undertaken with a file or a whetstone.
Proper Storage
Avoid leaving tools out to be exposed to the atmosphere for prolonged periods. Instead, store them in cool, dark place that is not prone to damp or moisture.
