What happens here
After scraping, with the paint roller still in the bucket, insert the nozzle of a garden hose into the bucket. Direct a steady stream of water onto the roller. The water will saturate the roller, loosening any remaining paint. As the bucket fills, the paint-laden water will overflow. Continue rinsing while rotating the roller and optionally using the scraping tool to help squeeze out paint, until the water overflowing from the bucket runs clear. This indicates that the roller is thoroughly clean. Ensure rinsing is done over an appropriate drainage area to avoid environmental contamination.
Goal: Wash remaining paint off the roller using water
