Brits have be using lockdown to decorate their homes, with many picking up the paintbrush to give rooms a new lease of life.
As well all know, painting is all fun and games until it comes to the clean-up, with washing brushes up there with one of the most tedious and time consuming jobs.
But the days of rinsing them in the sink over and over again may be over thanks to this woman's simple hack.
Her idea is ideal for those DIY projects that require a lick of paint, and people on social media have been left wondering why they didn't think of it themselves.
The savvy woman explained that all you have to do is pop your dirty paintbrush into a plastic sandwich bag - it has to be a resealable, like a ziplock bag - and come back to it later.
Writing on Facebook, she said: "We all hate having to clean paint brushes every evening (Right?) only to then need them again in the morning? The day after?
"To save this horrible job keep them in a zippo bag until you need them again as the paint doesn't dry.
"When all finished, they can be cleaned... Ready for your next DIY job."
She shared the idea to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips New group on Facebook - and cleaning fans can't get enough.
And whilst many people were quick to praise her savvy idea, a few others had suggestions of their own.
One person said: "Never knew this will defo try thank you."
A second person said: "Always wrap mine in cling film, same result. Save the washing and drying of brushes x"
Another added: "Have just kept a small tub of emulsion paint out with the brush pushed right in so the bristles are covered in paint in case we missed any bits and it has kept really well. Did some touching up and going to wash out now four days later."
And a fourth said: "I do that and put them in the fridge still good over a week later" with which someone replied: "In the freezer they last even longer."
