“Unlike tights and stockings which were used by some decorators to strain paint for many years (and which had to be thrown away each time) a metal sieve can be used over and over again – far more sustainable.”
Kitchen sieves can be bought from most local supermarkets or online for as little as £1.
George Home Stainless Steel Sieve costs £1.75 from Asda, MEDARBETARE stainless steel strainer costs £1 from IKEA and a set of three stainless steel sieves costs £2 from Shein.
If you’re reusing a tin of paint, it’s more important than ever to strain your paint.
