Another tip about using Newspaper to make cleaning up a breeze.  I was working on cleaning an item.  I put some newspaper under the cup of water I was using.  Accidentally, I knocked over the 1/2-3/4 cup of water.  Ta Da!  The newspaper acted as an absorbent and the would have been mess was kept under control.  I rolled up the newspaper and was ready to start over.
