painting the ceiling

I like this way of doing it my self

 

For tall and short people there are these to aid in not getting splashed by roller paint.

Of course other companies do similar products, but this was on my list at the time of reading.

 

I am really excited about this: I actually enjoy painting a lot....BUT....what is the best way to get rid of all those minute paint drops that land on things in spite of my best effort to cover them?

 

If its emulsion just a damp cloth should do.
