How to make the most out of your paint and accessories
How to keep your paint fresh
If you’re completing your painting project over a few days keep your paint fresh by simply putting the lid back on your tin and store in a cool, dry area.
Re-use your acccessories
Save your accessories for next time! Simply give them a good clean. If you’ve used water-based paint you can clean your brushes in a bucket of water to remove most of the paint, ready for use next time. Note: for solvent-based paint, the recommended solvent is required.
Disposal and recycling with Paintback
Dulux is a founding member of Paintback, a not-for-profit organisation helping trade and DIY painters responsibly dispose of unwanted paint and packaging at collection points across Australia.
Paint disposal
Dulux Envirosolutions® Waste Paint Hardener is a handy product that turns unwanted water-based paint into solid waste for easy and safe household disposal and provides a sustainable option to minimise the environmental impacts of paint products.
Order sample pots
Choosing colour can be one of the toughest, but most important, steps in a painting project. Our sample pots can help you choose the colour scheme in your home with confidence.
