    hello comment from 3 years ago. I watched this video first. I still got my painters tape sticking to my hands and pants and getting all crooked. My drop cloth got tangled. I splattered paint everywhere. Knowing is half the battle. Not being an incredible clutz is the part that gets me though.

The walls in this video has none of that but it doesn't matter as a spray bottle with mild detergent can take care of the spider webs and dirt. The paint with overwhelm and cover up the child's scribble and artwork, nice! Thanks so much for your video.
