I use a wash 'sleeve' connected to a hose. It takes about 20L to completely clean a roller. I have 2 tubes (sleeves). One for short nap and the other for 10-15mm. It only takes a few min to do the job.

Being science trained I observed in my experience that it’s a matter of introducing water and having it removed which cleans best. Like flooding the roller leaves a static layer of paint which won’t easily go. Try this. Have the roller with a end cap upright after initial cleaning and run the finest drizzle of water on the top. It will get into the nap and be transported out efficiently and get very clean without having to actively squeeze etc. a harsh flow of water will flood the outside and be less efficient. But yes a few runs of the slosh and roll is needed to get the bulk off

They have different names, 7 in 1 tool/ scraper or some times a 5 in 1 tool. So maybe ask for a 7 in 1 paint scraper, that should work and see if they sell grinding sparks while you are there. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

It will depend on how much you pay for a roller sleeves, the ones I use cost from $30 to $50 each. Throwing them away wouldn't make sense but yes if you use cheap rollers it can be more time effective to throw them away. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe

I Like To Use a Bucket To clean The Roller With The Spinner. And Make Sure The Roller Tray Is Fully Covered With Wet Paint After You finish And let That Dry But Make Sure It's a Water Based Paint on Say a New Roller Tray And After Maybe Ten Times Using That Roller Tray You Can Peel The Ten Coats Straight Off And It's Just like a New Roller Tray as You Probably know That's Just Me I Like To Keep Everything Clean as Possible.

That is one way of doing it and not a bad way but I just find for me its better to wash the tray out so its dry to use again. I peel the paint off the tray when the paint is thick enough to do so. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

You don't just spin it out once you do it a couple of times and stand up rest the tray on your legs put it so the part of the tray were you put the paint is facing down and spin it out that way so you don't get wet and soak it every time before you spin it out

I doubt there is much to worry about. There is maybe 50 ml of paint left in a roller if its fully cleaned mechanically first. Most of that is water, and the bright white is titanium dioxide, which is inert. The acrylic monomers are diluted with a lot of water, and probably biodegrade in the soil. If you *dont* wash the rollers you have to buy a new one. Then you have to account for the energy and pollution created in manufacturing it, plus more landfill. Also, considering home owners paint maybe once every 10 years, thats a lot of time for the soil organisms to degrade it. Better anyway than flushing it down the drain, which Im sure a lot of people do.
@markellis3648
@markellis3648 4 жыл бұрын
The accidental release measure for Titanium Dioxide is: Personal precautions Avoid inhalation of dust by arranging adequate ventilation, or use an appropriate dust mask. Avoid excessive contact with the skin. Use appropriate personal protective equipment. Emergency procedures Pick up spills and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust (e.g. vacuum, sweeping) Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unauthorized personnel away. 6.2. Environmental precautions Avoid dust dispersion to the environment. Prevent leakages from entering drains and ditches that lead to natural waterways. I’m not a save the earth activist. I’m letting you know you are displaying video and written evidence that you are braking the law and could result in a fine or a jail term. I appreciate that your aim is to advertise you are the expert advisor in this field but it is better to demonstrate it with safety in mind as when people watch this video they will not be handing you that big Job and all the good work you did presenting the video is wasted. I would scrap this video or edit it then the right people will give you the credit for the right reasons. This is not a criticism I’m letting you know that if I notice it then how many others. Good luck

Mark Ellis I'm not an expert, nor even a professional painter. Nor am I the original poster, as you seem to believe. I am a bit of a greeny, and do have concern about the effects of these chemicals. Given that people WILL clean out their rollers, the choice is between the ground, and the drain. I believe the ground is the better choice for the reasons stated. Out of sight, out of mind is hardly a rational policy.

If you are doing this commercially...its a waist of time...let the customer pay for the rollers in your quote then discard them once used...if diying then again i personally would discard them as how often does one paint a room..a house..a wall etc...its normally years before its done again...and.by that time the so called cleaned roller is probably not in the best condition to use anyway.

The roller sleeves I use (lambs wool) cost about $40 each and do wash out very easily. There are other types that do take longer to wash out which you could class as border line to wash out or throw away due to cost. Cheap rollers don't necessarily give you a good finish so it's up to the individual what they choose either a good quality sleeve or a cheap throw away sleeve. I still have worn down rollers that I have had for a long time, they are still fine to use, I keep these for oil paint then throw them away after. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

Firstly its water based paint and also when you are washing out there should be minimal paint in the roller. I'm sure the soil would be enough to filter out the paint partials long before it got to ground water, that's even if it made it that far. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.
