Don’t Mop, Wipe

Lastly, it's time to clean the floors, but before you pick up the mop, let’s bring out the wipes instead. While a mop can be used to clean up spills, it can also introduce more moisture on the floor, which can cause paint to spread out and smudge. In contrast, makeup wipes are absorbent and can easily capture stray droplets with minimal effort. They’re convenient as they don’t need water or detergent—just a quick swipe should do the trick.

You can use this with wet and dry paint alike. Plus, you won't need to worry about having wet floors for hours afterward, so you can get on with whatever you're doing with your day near-on immediately!
