Make DIY a Breeze with the Right Trolley
If you own a DIY store or you work in one, you’ll know that you’re coming up to one of your busiest times of the year. The Easter Weekend is a prime time for people across Britain to tackle some of the jobs they’ve been meaning to get around to. Some jobs are best left to the professionals, but here are some of the most popular jobs that people usually decide to tackle themselves.
Giving a new lease of life to wooden furniture
Wooden garden furniture will get a new lease of life if you give it a lick of paint or you treat it with a wood stain. Use a wire brush or sandpaper to scrub away any splintered wood or chipped paint then cover any cracks or holes with a wood filler. Leave this overnight, then wipe the furniture down with a damp cloth before applying a layer of exterior primer. Once this is dry, apply a coat of exterior paint in the colour of your choice.
Re-grouting tiles
When grout is discoloured, it makes a room look tired and dirty. Refresh kitchens and bathrooms by using a waterproof adhesive to re-grout between tiles. Scrape out any old grout with a scraping tool, then wipe the area clean and apply the new grout. Remove any excess grout with your finger. Give the tiles a final wipe over with a damp cloth and marvel at how fresh your room looks.
Oiling squeaky doors
This might seem like a trivial thing, but if a door in your house sounds like a coffin lid, it can drive you to distraction. All you need to do is oil your hinge pins with WD40 or a similar product.
Painting
A fresh coat of paint can take a room from tired and dated to modern and bright. Clean the walls and make sure you have a smooth canvas before applying a new coat of paint. If using a brush is too much of an arduous task, you can buy an airless sprayer which will help you get the job done in no time!
