    Paint roller cleaning method.

    Paint roller cleaning method.
    I got this idea from a commercial product but made one myself as I used to have a decorating business and would always spin clean a new roller before use to get rid of manufacturing debris which can spoil a nice finish. Just a length of rod and two wood cones, top one fixed bottom one removable but a tight fit and mount it in an electric drill. All you need now is a deep bucket and a bin liner, soak the roller and give it a spin in the bucket, repeat and you now have clean and almost dry fluffed up roller to hang up to air, just a few minutes work and saves using the kitchen sink, usually not appreciated by a customer or at home.
