What happens here

Begin by removing the bulk of the wet paint from the paint roller. Place the paint roller into a used paint bucket. Use a specialized paint roller cleaning tool, which has a curved edge designed to fit around the roller, to scrape off excess paint. Slowly and firmly pull the tool down the roller, allowing the removed paint to fall back into the bucket. Repeat this action multiple times, rotating the roller as needed, until most of the visible paint has been returned to the bucket.

Goal: Remove as much paint as possible from the roller
