Why You Should Grab Your Broom The Next Time You Paint
Your Deck
By DESIRÉE O
TikTok user Mike Sneddon (@dad.dancer) demonstrated how to paint your deck using an ordinary broom with a plastic handle and relatively soft bristles.
This hack helps apply a nice coat of paint to your deck while also preventing streaks or flicks of color from flying everywhere and hitting spots where you don’t want them.
Simply dip the broom into the paint from a pan before applying it to the deck by using the exact same back-and-forth movements that you might use if you needed to sweep it.
According to Sneddon, this hack resulted in "full coverage in fifteen minutes and got down into the gaps between boards better than a roller could."
