Tray Liner Clean-up Tip from Better Homes and Gardens

Q. It takes so much time and effort to wash paint trays -- is there a good alternative?

Brian Santos: Slide a metal roller tray into a heavy-duty tall plastic kitchen trash bag, then press the bag into the tray to create a liner. Keep the plastic bag in place with a few pieces of blue painter's tape.

To store paint in the tray overnight, seal it by dampening a large towel and draping it over the covered tray. The bag liner makes cleanup a cinch; simply turn the bag inside out and toss it in the trash.
