We're going to show you how we go about cleaning this paint roller. Just got done painting my room. Roller's all full of paint. Now I've got my hose all hooked up. Got my spray nozzle hooked into my hose and I've got my bucket. And the bucket is actually to keep shield you from actually getting water sprayed and uh up into your face and all over your clothes. You're going to take your your roller, stick it down inside your bucket, and then you're going to turn your water on. And this is why I like having a water hose or an actual nozzle that you can control from right here. So you can turn it on and off. And then what I'm going to be doing is just taking spraying my nozzle right onto my roller. And it's actually going to spin the roller and it's actually going to flush it with water at the same time and completely clean it out. And it's going to clean it out pretty fast. So I'm going to turn my water on and then start spinning. And you can see how it actually spins. The water will begin spinning this roller extremely fast. And then you're just gonna work it from side to side and it's going to clean out the roller. Of course, I don't want to shoot my camera with paint, so I can't point it directly at you. And then when you're actually done and it's all cleaned out, you're just going to put it on one end and then you're going to spin it really fast to fluff it back up. Just keep working it from side to side till you see it get completely clean. Number spin it, fluff it up, and there you go. You have a clean roller within a minute or so. Okay, here I go. Oh, I'm going to give you a little bit closer look. Hopefully, I don't waste my camera. It's a really expensive camera. I don't want to splatter it with paint, but I want to give you a closer look. So, here we go. We're going to stick your roller right into the bucket, and you're going to keep it from touching the sides of the bucket so it'll spin freely. Get my hose. Turn it on. Here we go. Just like that, spun and clean. But if you just take your nap and your 5 in1 tool, just put a little bit of light pressure, you can see how it scrapes the paint right out of the nap. And a 9-in nap holds about a half a pint of paint. And I'll show you. We got an 18-inch nap. You can see how much paint just came out of that nap. Now, this nap will clean up a lot easier. This 18-in nap will hold almost a pint of paint. And so, that's just a pint of paint that's wasted. So, you can see just taking your 5 in1 tool, scraping it. You can see how much paint comes out. And it'll make cleaning your nap, it'll take about half as long cleaning it if you scrape the paint out. Just like that. It's a quick tip using a five in one tool on. Okay, now I'm going to show you how we go about cleaning the brush. And I'm done painting with my brush. It's got paint all over it. Got my wire bristle brush. And I'm going to begin cleaning it in my bucket. And I got my bucket about a quarter full of water. Just going to dip my wire brush in there. Get my paintbrush wet. And then I'm going to use the bucket and support my brush on the side of the bucket right here. And then just begin scrubbing in a downward motion. Stroking it downward just like this. Scrubbing those bristles. Just going to flip my brush over through the sides, the flat part. And what you're doing is getting any type of dried paint off the bristles. And just keep working that dried paint off and the paint off the fereral. And then just going to take my water, switch it down in my water, and get that excess paint off. I'm going to dump my water out. Put some more clean water in it. Get it about quarter full. And then begin just patting your brush in the bottom like this. And you're working the paint out of the inside of the fereral of the brush. Just keep patting it on the bottom. Dump out your water. You want to put some fresh water in. You're going to do this about four times. And then you just keep patting. Eventually when you pat it on the bottom, you won't see any more cloudy or painty water. You'll just see clean water. Just keep patting it. Going to put some more water in here. And it's starting to get pretty clean. I'm going to take my wire brush one more time. You can see just a little bit of dry paint still on there. Just going to work it off. And no, this bristle wire bristle brush won't hurt your paintbrush. Put some more clean water in there. And the padding motion. I'm actually on the bottom of the bucket. I'm actually patting the brush down like this and it's actually forcing water up inside the ferro and it forces it up and out and actually flushes the paint out. So, I'm just going to keep doing that and then when I'm all done, I'm going to pat it dry by just kicking it on my foot. That last step of patting it dry, just kicking it. Don't hit it too hard on your foot because you'll bend the fereral. You're just flipping it over, kicking it dry, and it fluffs it up. And then the case that it actually came in, the paper case, you want to stick it back in that paper case, and it'll keep your brushes shape for the lifetime of the brush. And there you go.
