Paint is one of the most commonly used household products, but it can also be one of the most dangerous. Improperly stored paint can lead to fires, explosions, and toxic fumes. So where should you store paint in the house?
The best place to store paint is in a cool, dry place. A garage or shed is ideal, but if you don’t have one of those, a closet or cupboard will work. Just make sure the area is well-ventilated so the paint doesn’t get too hot.
Once you’ve found a suitable location, put the paint cans on a shelf or in a box. And be sure to label them clearly so you know what’s inside. If you have any leftover paint, seal it up tightly and put it in a safe place.
With a little bit of planning, you can keep your paint cans safe and sound – and out of the way.
