WD-40 can help make cleaning up after painting a lot easier. Simply covering your hardware with this product will make any drips extremely effortless to wipe off metal surfaces.

Furthermore, if you're painting over a tile floor and you accidentally drip onto the tiles, just a few sprays of WD-40 should make the drip easy to wipe off with a clean rag.

You can also spray WD-40 on paint brushes to make them easier to clean, to loosen bristles that are stiff and stuck together, or to prevent rust on the metal part of the brush.

Another helpful hack is to spray WD-40 along the edge of a stuck paint can lid, which will soften excess paint and make the lid easier to pry off.
