Good video, but I've found the most effective way of cleaning rollers is to tie them onto the outside of a deep sea submarine. Once it returns, after about a week of spending time at depths of 2000ft, the roller is good to go again.

LMFAOOOO
7 years later, and still a helpful tip. I am just a home-gamer, so I only have to wash a roller a few times a decade, but the water fountain trick works awesome! The drain slope of my sink made the fountain only come out one side, so I stuck one of those really small tupperwear containers (don't tell my wife!) into the top to "plug" the roller, and tilted it to direct the fountain for full coverage.
Super simple explanations for extremely helpful hints. No five minute preamble before instructions. Thank you for your videos, man!! Very useful for the amateur painter!!
Agreed. Like 12 minutes for a 5 minute process type thing!
Thanks good video. I spin my roller after squeezing out the paint and after washing it. I used to be an auto mechanic in the olden days. In 1973 I repaired a painters van and he gave me 2 nice USED brushes as a tip. I have used them ever since and they are still in good condition.
That's a long time
The best comb is called a 'slicker brush' which is normally used in pet grooming. Probably not the best for the bristles but if you start to get crusty paint accumulating deeper in the paint brush, it works really well to scrape it out.
If my customers saw me do this in they're sink. They'd fire me and never call me back
😂😂😂😂👍
He starts off by saying " how to wash a roller like a pro" pros don't use customers sinks. It must be for demonstration purpose( I'm assuming it's his house)
and what s waste of water? is water for free in us?
THANK YOU! Some I'm a layman, I used a FORK at the end. WOW it made a difference! And I'm so glad not to waste my time finding the brush.
I'm just got on a level 1 painting course and a lot of people don't know how to clean there brush and you just given me great tips!! Thank you
My pleasure :)
I'll be offering a free training that goes much deeper starting Sept 25th if that interest's you.

Use the garden hose sprayer nozzle. Use shower setting at first; it has much more pressure than your kitchen sink to really dig the paint out of the nap. To finish, turn your nozzle to jet and use the water jet to make your roller spin.
if you live it on the roller and hit the edge with a water hose it will start spining it cleans it so well and fast you be amazed.
+john smith :)..That's okay in the summer time on a big property....That stuff fly's all over...:)...We use 18's
Yep, that's what I do and I have a large utility sink with an attached flexible hose to do the same thing in cold weather.
@@godbluffvdgg the secret is to turn the roller straight up and down stand right behind a 5 gallon bucket and spray the hose right up against the roller as it spins it hits the bucket shielding you from all of its spray and it's pretty clean that way
@@zorroonmilkavitch1840 LOL...I've been painting for 30 years...You know how many times I've done that?...And, guess how many times I got soaked, at least my pant's legs?...I'll give you a hint...It rhymes with; brevy...::)...You're better off just using a five way and a running stream of water...
I USED to do that. But it wears out the Roller Handle to save a $1 Roller. In addition to everything everyone else said. The OP's idea is better than yours, but it waists more water than a cheap Roller costs. If you’ve used a high dollar Roller like a textured applicator or something it might make sense to clean and reuse. But I don't see buying expensive Rollers if a $1 Roller and a $3 Roller Handle will do. Then just throw the mess away.
Thank you for your information. 😣 I have done everything not to do before watching your video and lost a lot of brushes. So had to get new ones.
ah, I wish I've seen your video earlier!! I've made all the mistakes you mentioned. Thank you for sharing your tips, will help me with the next brush
That's very interesting. I was trained to use a wire brush and then put a garden hose into the brush and form a circle with my fingers, pretty much doing exactly what you said not to do. The guy I worked for was a painter for 20 years and had good brushes that were several years old.
+michaelCohenlyingPOS that's what I'm talking about...flip those brushes and hog the water to them...I soap my brushes with dove bar soap shape them and then let them dry...helps them keep shape and stops the bristles from drying if their sitting for a while...other than that wire brush and hot water... maybe a little soap to cut the paint if I'm Killin time
michaelCohenlyingPOS Thanks for the tip. I've lost some covers and if i'm hearing you guys right maybe some soap will help them old brushes get back to form. Right on.
+michaelCohenlyingPOS what are these gloves you speak about? sounds fancy haha
I have brushes that are 60 years old.
Him saying that while my brushes have been soaked in water all night 🤦🏻♀️🤣
This was good advice, especially regarding to washing the brushes. I always washed my brush upside down but I certainly won't do that anymore.
Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full. With the roller cover still on the frame, pump it up and down aggressively into the water. Dump the water. Repeat until clean. It only takes a couple times and it will be 100% clean. Then give the roller a quick spin out to "fluff" the nap back out and it's like new again. I've been using the same Colossus and White Dove roller covers for a long time and they are perfect still after hundreds of jobs.
I put baby oil (don't wash off) on my brushes after I've cleaned them to keep the soft bristles. It works good.
I like this method. May I suggest that if you have an old kiddie pool laying around, to fill that up to the top and first swish the roller around in the pool; most of the discoloration from the paint will come out of the roller. Refill the kiddie pool, and re-rinse the roller. After that's done, put the roller back on the cage, and go turn on the street fire hydrant, full blast, and then lower the roller into the blasting stream of water. This will leave your roller completely paint free but sopping wet. After this is done, open a roll of bounty paper towels. About $4. Roll out the paper towels on a sidewalk, and just run the roller onto the paper towel pathway you've made. This will leave it 90 percent dry. Take the roller inside. Turn on a high pressure hair dryer. Move the blower back and forth for about 20 minutes vigorously until warm and dry. Then take a hair comb, and gently comb your roller starting from bottom to top. Then flip it. Comb it now bottom to top. Now give it a name.
Spencer Colgan 😂😂😛🌺
lollll I legit had sore sides after I read this
Me too
lol the worst part of this vid is the waste of water....you multiplied it by 50 gallons....and then refill the pool with another 50 gal. There is just so much fail in your post and this guy's post...just pray it with a hose and let it spin on the roller....2 gals of water and your roller is spotless....I just don't get it sometimes.
Peppa pig
Holy crapola! The roller trick is amazing, just tried it and works AMAZING, Thank you
I use to put the roller in the trash after finishing, now I clean it and it looks very good. Thanks for your video.
1. You have a spinner. Just use the spinner in an empty 5 gal bucket to get most of the paint out. Then spin the roller in a 5 gal bucket full of water. Then back to the empty to spin it dry. Do this 2 or 3 times, takes 2 minutes tops, and the roller is clean and dry.
2. Clean a brush with a wire brush. Rinse it to get most of the paint out. Then brush through the bristles with a wire brush (and brush paint of the handle if there is any), rinse one more time and either shake or spin the brush dry. Lastly, put the brush back in its sleeve to maintain its shape.
3. Don't clean paint tools in a kitchen sink. That's what utility tubs, or buckets outside are for.
I'm a total amateur but after i wash my brush I put hair conditioner on my it and rinse. It comes out beautiful, especially on older brushes. Thanks for the tips
Tried that hair conditioner trick. The first part of next day sucked. Brissles were getting full of clumps and lots of booger on your work. Rewashed outside asap. Work like new after rewash. I use only ( corona. Excaliber ) brushes. The best definatley
After I saw this video, I washed some of my rollers out very well using this method. Thank you very much
Thanks! Very nifty advice about 5 in 1 tool to put excess paint back in the can when done before cleaning naps.
I buy good quality roller covers because I like the results and the finish they provide. I have never found the results of a used/cleaned roller cover to match the results of a new one. When I am done with the job, I use a 5 in 1 tool to "scrape" the excess paint into the can, place a sheet of plastic wrap over the paint surface in the can so it won't dry out, and throw the roller cover in the trash. Even good roller covers do not cost enough for me to bother cleaning them. I have never found the results of a used/cleaned roller cover to match the results of a new one. If I do not finish the paint job in one day, I scrape the roller cover and inset it back into its original wrapper, leaving it on the roller frame. Fold over the open end. Even with latex paint, it will "keep" like this for several days. Then, when you are ready to finish, just take the wrapper off and start painting.
Glad to hear :)
And you're welcome!
I buy extra fitting brushes for cleaning copper fittings. Works awesome on paint brushes. Really gets the paint out specially if it's starting to dry at the top of the paint line. Just dont drag the fitting brush really hard. It will ruin your paint brush in a few passes. But lays down the bristles better.
Hey Remi, thanks for this. On the surface, painting looks easy. But, the art is in the details, isn't it. Who knew that I was cleaning my brushes wrong!
If you use your brush for extended periods sometimes there's paint dried on in the middle of the bristles. I've found using a wire brush helps to remove the caked on paint while running under water.
The best way to wash it is to wash it like u wash it hair. Wet, soap rub, rinse and repeat about 2 to three times. Make sure you did in the middle. U get back clean fluffy paint rollers and brushes.. washing indefinitely waste water and time. Just use detergent
Love the 'fountain' trick. thanks!
He is so funny 😃
Thank you for posting this! Really helped me out.
Emulsion roller sleeves and brushes I put in an old pillow case then in washing machine on the rinse cycle. The pillow case helps protect the brush bristles from damage by the holes in the drum.
Man, I clean mine outside with a garden hose and nozzle !
Me too. 30 seconds and you're done
@@scottstacey6840 That's certainly easier. But where I live half the year is freezing outside so at those times the kitchen sink it is!
Great, only have to use 50 gallons of water to clean one brush
if you know a better way, let us know !
Oh, did he ask you to pay for the water he used? STFU!!
Maybe 10 gallons tops, for the worst rollers.. only a few for a brush. That's a lot better than replacing a $20 brush every time you paint. Imagine a professional painter throwing away $5000 worth of brushes every year. .
Greg A I was thinking the same exact thing what a huge waste of water. 👎 You can clean a roller using much less water so many painter I know leave the water running it's such a huge waste.
Didtok Nan If your a painter you know the better way that does use far less water
Thank you for all your help and the great videos have a wonderful day.
I got this brush comb for my brushes from home depot. Purdy brand. It works really well and has kept my cheap brushes working as well as they can lol
Cool. Good to know the ludicrously amateurish way I’ve been washing my rollers for 20 years is exactly the same way the pros do it... 👍
There is nothing wrong with cleaning a brush in a bucket. Saves on water. Also, a lot of good brushes use plastic instead of wood up in the boot of the brush. I use Purdy brushes and have never had an issue getting the boot wet. Just don’t leave your brush soaking in water beyond the boot. This might lead to bristles falling out of the boot. Cleaning it the way you just cleaned that brush will not get all the paint out of the boot, IMO. It’s inevitable, if you use a brush all day, that paint will get up in the boot area. It’s ok to get the boot wet. Just make sure you let it dry right after. I’ll usually boot off the excess water and wrap the brush in a rag to keep its shape. The next day, I’ll throw it back into it’s cardboard sleeve.
Good tips. Manually operated roller spinner works great too if you have a bucket to spin in.
I use a 4000psi high pressure cleaner, I get spray back throughout my hole street but I have a really long hose.
I throw mine in the washing machine when the wife's not home
LOL. There is a lot of stuff I throw in the washer when the wife is not home.
what about youtube,you comment when she is not logged in
jerry o connor dishwasher with a little Cascade 😆
A local barmaid told me that her husband had done the final freshen up on their old toilet bowl by putting it in the dish washer in which it just about fitted in after removing the trays. He did not consult her first...
jerry o connor hahahaha
I hate saving water too so this is Great!
Great videos! I sure wish you had more of them you explain things so well. Can you tell me what professional cut in brush you use and also what brand and size of roller cover you prefer for textured walls ie. knockdown, orange peel. thank you again and I hope you start making more painting videos soon you are one of the best on youtube and a class act have a blessed day.
When it comes to brushes there are many factors to consider. Each one is slightly different and has unique benefits. I recommend trying a few and see how they feel. As a general rule, maybe look at the ones over $15.
so if you are painting all day and the brush gets really gummy/hard bits, what do you do? is there a routine through the day for washing every 2-3 hours to avoid this? somewhere i heard you are supposed to pre wet a brush anyway, for some reason, so that might be ok. so how often show i wash the brush?
Great series, please more
A 5 in 1 is what we call “that tool.”
What I did was got an old roller frame straightened the handle stem. I then cut the stem leaving about 5in attached to the roller frame. Put on your paint filled roller attach stem to power drill. Dip into center of clean paint bucket and spin. The centrifugal force takes all the work out. Wash what little remains and conserve water. Always use eye protection.
Thank you for this, I have used your method several times now and the brushes are like new and the rollers can be used over and over again.
50jobush :)
Put it on a drill and turn on full speed. If you don't like your neighbours do it next to their car. Solves 2 problems.
The drill trick works really well , I have done it many times. I use a tall cardboard box with top open , and hold my drill downward in the box, so that the colour splashes are only on the inside of the box. An old bin will do too. I love your neighbour comment though , very funny !
Dont forget to use safety glasses
Dont forget to use condom
just avoid working in the painting industry and move out into the middle of nowhere!! Solves 2 problems.
And exactly how do you attach it to a drill? assuming there's some kind of special attachment
What about if you are using gloss?
+The Black Johnny Gat That wont change anything :)
Hirukamu San oil base roller naps you throw away
Thank you, for a good lesson on keeping tools in working order, especially for homeowners. 😃
Everybody does it different even pro's. The amount of water he is using probably amounts to less than a shower are bath. We live in a first world not third world , so I don't see a problem. The sink is stanless steel and the paint is latex so it will not hurt the plumbing are stop up the plumbing and all of you pro painters, don't say you have never used a customer's sink on a cold are rainy day and if you say you have not you my friend are fibbing. I soak my brushes and naps first before cleaning that removes most of the paint then I spin my naps on a roller outside of course and I wash my brushes with the hose between my legs so can use both hands to massage the paint from the brush and then use a painters comb to straighten the brush before putting it away. Like I said everbody does it different and if the customer does not have a problem with using there sink why the heck not, just clean up after yourself and be courteous. I don't like using a customer's bathroom ether but sometimes you cannot help it, always ask first and clean up after yourself and be courteous. He is not trying to teach all you know it alls he is trying to help people who do not paint much and I can guarantee that the people he is reaching have no problem using there sinks. Nice video my fellow painter. I even learn a couple of things myself.Always learning.....
@Sven3xs problem is he's claiming that a pro would use this system to clean a brush and roller bottom line is a roller done professionally should be put on a paint spinner in a five gallon bucket with a minimal amount of water used

how do you keep the paint from drying to the middle upper portion of the brush as you paint? (I'm just an amateur with great respect for the pros who make it look so easy)
You can't really stop that. But you can minimize the inconvenience by washing your brush more often.... wrapping it tightly in plastic when you're not using it. And not leave the brush sitting in a gallon of paint since that puts paint usually a little too high on the bristles. :)
thank you
j_romeo you turn the brush upside down, don't listen to that nonsense, if you buy a good enough brush like I do a purdy.... Then you just turn it upside, stick a ruler or something flat directly in the centre without damaging the bristles, then run under warm water never use cold as this hardens the paint, and u can use some washing up liquid as well... Had my brushes about 3 years and never had a bristle fall out if so, then with purdy you can always go and get a new one for free, it's their policy! Check it out.. And give my way ago let me no what you think....don't buy a cheap brush
I use a spray bottle adjusted to fine mist and mist my paint and my brush periodically. Works for me.
Just give it a rinse whenever you take a break or do something else.
Is this safe for the septic system? The can of Sherwin Williams I'm looking at says don't pour down the drain.
Funny you should say that! I'm having a new dish washer tomorrow!! Might test it out 😀
"dont leave your brush in a bucket."
summary of my mistakes...
I prefer to use a snorkel and take the roller down to about 45 ft and youll see a cloud of paint after about an hour and a half u should have most of it out lol what the hell kind of video is this....really lol
Very good😂
Hell 45 feet?!? Neighbors pool is deep enough round here!! 😂😂
Hysterical.
Expressions Painting had some useful tips in properly washing/storing brushes and rollers except he mentioned some "DO NOTS" and "TIPS" that are false or that waste too much water. I have been professionally painting interior/exterior residential homes going on 11 years now so I personally know from experience that running water into a brush through the bristles extracts most if not all remaining paint left inside the bristles and doesnt effect the brushs performance in anyway; as long as you use a wire brush to comb down in a one-way stroke motion until all the dried up stipple stuck on the outside of the bristles is removed and you have shook/spun all the remaining water out before placing back into case it came in. Cleaning the roller in the sink by allowing water to overflow top of roller takes too much time and a lot of unnecessary water. I personally use an outside water hose and pressure nozzle to spin the roller as I spray back and forth to both ends of the roller until all paint is out. Spinning the roller with high pressure water removes all paint and foreign objects; at the same time drying the bristles and drawn out the original shape of the roller.
If I have an already hardened bristle brush and I want to restore it (if possible) may I use the plastic method with acetone instead of water?
Why would I wash a disposable roller
High-end rolls they are expensive. If you bought your rollers at the dollar store just toss them out.
Cause the go even better when they are used.
Why waste a resource if you don't have to?
Good rollers aren't cheap. If you're buying shit rollers then throw 'em away.
Even so called good rollers aren't even worth cleaning.
Look at the quality of the spread when you use a pre used roller.
Its terrible.
But most people are to ignorant to think of that.
All they think about is putting a buck or 2 into their pocket.
They don't care about the quality of their workmanship.
Sscrape paint out with 5 n 1 and then use a roller spinner or water hose leave roller cover on handle and spin it out with water ad have u ever heard of a wire brush that's how u clean a brush ur a pro iiiii don't kno about that
Thanks for your videos they have been really helpful. You have fabulous painting skills and thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
Yeoooo get yer hole jen
Learn a lote from your video. But how do you let the brush dry?
when job is done toss out your 3 dollar sleeve
I got 3 for 2 dollars tho
sweet deal even better reason to toss out when done
@@wookie4207 true lol
No point of wasting a water for $2.
I thought it was for pros who spend more money
I find it easier to soak them in a bucket of warm water for 10 minutes or so, after removing the excess paint with the 5 in 1. Most of the remaining paint will separate from the roller on its own, settle to the bottom of the bucket, & the roller will rinse out in a few seconds after soaking.
soaking them in warm water destroys the rollers
@@user-bt2hz2lv9k Hot water, sure. Warm water is fine if it's a quality roller.
How do you clean a brush that has real thick paint stuck towards bottom wood piece? I get this issue when cutting in. I feel like alot of paint gets stuck in the middle and then hard to get out especially if you wrap it to use the next day.
Hi, How do you clean dried silicone paint off a brush and roller? I tried soap/water and mineral spirits soak without success.
Don't ever wash out in the clients sink especially the kitchen sink. Not only does it make you look unprofessional you run the risk of staining the sink with dirty paint water. Unless its one of those plastic garage sinks then you should be ok..
Most kitchen sinks are in a material that doesn't absorb paint and therefore does not stain. Communication with customer is what's important before
+ExpressionsPainting most paint stains stainless sinks and leavs a residue in most dark stone sinks communication is NOT what's important when you're cleaning you're materials...take zip locks for you're brushes and rollers garbage bags for cages trays and cut buckets take them home and wash them in you're own sink...any credible painter has a slop sink...
What? Stainless steel won't stain if you wipe it down afterwards. I've done it hundreds of time in my sink at home and it still looks brand new.
Stainless is stainless! if you have any problem with stains get some solvent on it. What stains stainless is tiny particles that are foreign to stainless that rusts ontop. So might as well clean it out.
bullitsc i had caught construction workers with 30 yrs experience wash their crap in my nice new kitchen sink and that’s AFTER I showed them where the slop sink is .. but of course they were too lazy to walk the extra 50 feet to the slop sink in the laundry room and used my kitchen sink coz it was closer. I threw them the fuck out, unpaid. NEVER mess with a smart woman.
I'm a professional decorator and watching that grinds me, talk abt wasting water no need for that.
- Paint is going into the sewers / pipes. Here in France, that's illegal and can be fined quite a lot.
- Paint in the sink of the place he is painting, big no-no ...
- Wasting so much water !!
Overall terrible advice that also makes me cringe.
P5ykoOHD I completely agree with your points. I have been a WB paint user for years. I hate oil products and refuse to use clients products but it's still legal in the UK. thankfully the government are making a move to phase them out. but this guy is cleaning WB paint so my main gripe is the volume of water bring wasted in this instance
hncat78 as a plumber all so it's frustrating to see this
@@hncat78 the fact is oil based products pollute much less or little to no water then latex-based paints people that use oil-based paints keep all of the vocs and thinners in one bucket and dispose of them in a proper manner
Great painting tips! Keep them coming!
After scraping bulk of paint off roller, garden hose nozzle rinses and spins roller fast, use 5gal bucket as shield for spray from spinning roller. Idaho Painter has a vid showing this, and a few others. Requires outdoor area that can soak up some paint. My fav method so far.
In the amount of time it takes to clean a roller cover you could roll out an entire room as it's not worth the time and effort to save $6 ... unless you're in a pinch and really need to clean it for some odd reason which does happen from time to time . Unless you're incredibly cheap or bad at math as labor and time is a lot more profitable than a $6 roller cover .... most professional painters have these in stock and just toss when done .
If I have a good brush I will keep it and wash it. I stopped washing rollers years ago. I just throw them away and buy a new one. It uses too much water to clean them completely.
You should try Corona rollers. You can clean them out in about 30 seconds. Expensive but they are worth it!
@@attackthestatic Make a video of cleaning one in 30 seconds and I will believe you.
You clean your rollers like that on my job, you would be fired...You have a your 5 way...Use it...We fill one 5 gal bucket with clean water...clean off the roller with the 5 way till you can see the core...Then finish it in a sink with a touch of dish soap and rinse...Takes about 5 minutes total...You're using WAYYYYYYY to much water! We are cleaning 5 rollers or more in a day...
godbluffvdgg true,I usually wrap the roller sleeves in plastic with a bit of tape to keep the air out,good to go next morning.Throw them out end of job.All cost passed on to client.Small jobs,clean & save the sleeves for other jobs.
@@jonomason4256 Sorry for the late reply but; I do the same thing...The 18's cost 10 bucks so they're worth keeping decent...9's? I buy them by the box...the 3 bucks isn't worth the time...
Excellent tips! Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome :)
Thanks brother, tell me please what the name of the tool is called. Thanks
OMG!!! Where the H did this guy come from. Am I on candid camera!!!
looks like a waste of water and should paint be going down the drain?
Water based paints like emulsion are fine down the drain
I use a stiff bristle brush to scrape the paint off a paint brush, especially if the paint has dried a little. Works great for me.
how do u dry the brush? cause if u stand in up then the water will run down into the bristles no?
Wow, that’s a lot of water to clean a $5 roller.
With water costing about 25 cents for 50 gallons, seems smart.
I'm an actual pro painter and it's videos like this that make us look bad, sorry dude I'd fire you. ty
Me toooooo

You are spot on. Wrap them up with plastic like he said take them home, and use your utility sink. Start first in a bucket so you don't use a thousand gallons of water that you're getting charged for.
not everyone has a slop sink
@@johnstawicki3185 Like another guy said here, use a bucket either way so u dont make a in the customers sink. It also scratches it.

Eslam Hamdy ua-cam.com/video/yDDRnj2c72A/v-deo.html
Hi, thanks for the tips. Forgive me if I missed it, but you didn't tell us how to store the clean roller / brush once they've been washed - because they will still be a little damp surely?
the roller cleaning process? A Major waste of water. Spin out outside w/ a strong stream hose.
You can also use the tray as a guard with the well facing out and roller and cage spin and washes the tray at the same time
I'm a pro painter I would never bother washing a roller cover, times to valuable, the time it takes to wash covers go buy another 1.i would only wash a cover in an emergency if I ran out of covers which I try not to do, and if I wash brushes never use a customers sink even if they allow it, ty
henry r
That means you use crappy cheap throw away rollers which means you leave lap marks and your finishes are uneven..
You fucken hack, you suck.
Lol,Actually I use the best roller covers,and charge enough to afford it,
Marak , don't be so sensitive
That space he's referring to,is,known as the reservoir,you do want to force as much water as possible into the reservoir,to get the paint out,which is done by holding the brush upside down,forcing water in between hairs,
I been painting for 30 years what i do is put them under my pillow to stop them going hard they stay soft when u give the a bit of TLC
after washing the brush do you air dry it ? Thank you
A good cleaning really preserves your equipment, thanks for sharing.

I guess it’s not your house, you don’t pay water bill.
Cheaper to buy a new roller sleeve
This is in his house.
Rookie.......1. don't wash you tools in your or your customers nice stainless steel sink ( I have let "painters" go for doing this, if it's "your" sink, no problem ). 2. use a 5 gallon bucket (or utility sink) with water and submerge your roller and brush to clean them and repeat till water is paint free. 3. use a wire brush to clean the paint off your brush. much quicker with better results.
Lol. You don’t think this is the content creators own actual sink? I think you are trying to come across as some hard a$$-know-it-all when you made yourself look dumb. The point of the video wasn’t “this is how a contractor should clean his brush in their clients sink”. He was showing us how to do it. Likely in his own house. Probably why he was painting in his socks in these early videos. I’m seriously doubting he would do that in a clients house. Rookie.

I'm going to try and find that brand here in California no luck so far I'm having a tough time getting any of the cool stuff you have I really wanted to get the tray and large tray liner etc but no one here sales them only Canada :( I told you that you guys have all the good stuff
I'm sure the city and people in your town are very happy your pouring latex paint into the sewer system. How many gallons of paint do you figure you've poured down the drain? I hope your local EPA sues your ass, completely illegal.
sure let's waste $20 of water for a dollar roller
20 dollars for water to wash a roller where do you live lol
It must suck to live in the desert.
It's funny how many people are exaggerating the amount of water being used. You're talking a few cents worth of water vs $15-25 for a decent brush and $7-$15 or so for a decent roller.
Thanks for your help U Rémi.
I wold really like to try the brush and lint free roller cover going to try and get them I'm struggling to find a brush that I like for cutting in your help is really appreciated and I look forward to reading you book.
Paul go to home depot and buy Purdy brush & roller .Most pros in Canada use Purdy brand.There expensive but they will last for years. Happy painting.Michel from Canada.
I'm not a pro but I ONLY use Purdy 3/8 nap rollers. They never splatter the paint or leave paint ridges. The brush I'm in love with is a Shurline 1.5" for cutting in.
Not in my kitchen sink
