When we do crafts I like to put a plastic tablecloth on the table that way if paint and glue get on it I don’t have to wipe it off the table when we’re done. I just let it sit for a little while when we’re done, roll it up and stick it back in the craft bin.
Put little kids in the bathtub when you let them use paints. Then when you are through, you can just wash it all down the drain and clean them up at the same time.
I use an old sheet as a tablecloth when we do any project. It’s so easy to wash, as needed, and looks pretty cool–remnants of many projects on it!! This sheet will sure have some cherished memories!!
What a great idea and I love the idea of the sheet holding some remnants of the projects.
Wow, that’s a nice article. These cleaning tips are extremely helpful especially when I have two kids who are constantly involved in crafts!!
I always lay something on the table to prevent spilling anything. If there is a spot anyway, I use baking soda to clean it. More stubborn stains, I leave for my Cleaning Services to deal with them.
