What happens here

Begin by taking one of your new, small paint roller covers, already attached to its frame. Position a 5-gallon bucket (or a similar deep container) on the ground to catch the water. Take a garden hose equipped with a brass spray nozzle that produces a strong, straight stream. Direct the water stream from the hose at the roller cover while spinning it rapidly inside the bucket. The force of the water and the spinning action will quickly dislodge and wash away any loose fibers or lint from the roller cover, collecting them in the bucket. Continue this for a short period until you no longer see fibers being released.

Goal: Remove loose fibers from a small paint roller cover.
