The best solution to dirty pants is tying a belt rag to your painter’s pants. The Grand Illusion crew always wears a uniform of white, painter’s pants and a company t-shirt. Employees don’t use their uniform as a rag to wipe their hands, therefore, often we tie a quick cotton rag to a belt loop for easy wiping access. If you must laugh – go ahead. But remember, it’s the little things that show professionalism and discipline on a job site! Pierre Finkelstein of Grand Illusion Decorative Painting, Inc. shows you how.
