Well, it turns out there is!

And perhaps the best part? You’ve likely already got the 5p item in your kitchen cupboards.

A DIY fan, who posts under the acronym @nofnofi5, took to TikTok and shared a short video where he’s seen responding to a voice over that says: “Show me the life hack that you randomly saw one day that is now an unconscious standard practice in your life.”

In the clip, he can then be seen placing your typical yellow sponge into a tray of grey paint, before then gliding it over the walls.

The post has since garnered a very impressive 7.6 million views and been praised by social media users.

“I did this as well and it took LESS TIME and looked better,” noted one.

A second commented: “I think this is great in smaller areas instead of using a brush!”

A third penned: “Omg! I’m probably gonna use this soon.”

Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “Yes! I have painted like this for years! Best hack ever!”

Another commented: “Can you show us this dry?? GENIUS!!”

A further added: “So glad I saw this I have many rooms to paint.”

And another tagged a friend and joked: “Think we’ve been painting wrong.”
