FAQs about home improvement supplies and tools

Since ladders help you work up high, following good safety practices is important. You should never use a ladder when you're feeling tired or unwell, or outside on windy or stormy days. Wear shoes with good tread to reduce the risk of slipping. Inspect your ladder to make sure it's in good condition, then set it up on firm, even ground away from doors.

Face your ladder as you're climbing up or down. Make sure any items in your hands don't impact your grip. Maintain at least three points of contact with the ladder whenever you're using it. This may be two hands and one foot, or both feet and one hand. Ensure no one else climbs your ladder while you are, as this can interfere with your balance. Don't let anyone try to move your ladder while you're on it.

If you have unused paint, seal the original container to prevent the paint from drying out. Tap down the lid with a rubber mallet to create a tight seal. Store your paint cans in a cool, dark place, like a basement or garage. Moisture can rust paint cans, so keep them on a shelf if your room is damp. Unused latex- and water-based paints can last 10 years. Solvent- and oil-based paints have an even longer life of around 15 years.

If you'd rather dispose of your unused paint, you must be careful as paint can harm animals and the environment. Paint recycling centers across the United States accept unused paints, including oil-based paints, which you can't put in the trash. In some areas, you can also mix latex-based paint with an equal quantity of kitty litter. Leave it to sit for an hour before putting your mix in the trash. Alternatively, you can just take the lid off and let it dry before putting it in your trash.

Donating your paint is another safe option. Community centers and local theater groups often need paint for projects with limited budgets. Donating your paint is a great way to help out these organizations.

While you don't need to clean your tools thoroughly after every use, regular cleaning can help your tools stay in good condition. Cleaning your tools also reduces the chances of dirt and debris impacting your DIY projects. After use, wipe your tools down with a soft cloth to remove any debris. Every 6 months or so, depending on how often you use them, give your tools a more thorough clean. Don't use harsh chemicals, as they can damage your tools. Instead, check the manufacturer's guidelines for the best cleaning tips.

Taking care when storing your tools will help them stay in prime condition longer. Keep your tools away from dirt and moisture, which can cause corrosion. Power tools often come with their own protective cases. Keep them in these when they're not in use. For your hand tools, invest in a good-quality toolbox. A toolbox with a lid that protects your tools from the elements is the best choice.
