Dulux Smart Unifiber Roller

Step 1: Scrape Off Excess Paint :The best way to clean a paint roller cover is to start by scraping any excess paint off the roller and back into your paint tray with a putty knife or spatula. Then use up any paint that’s still on the roller by rolling it onto a piece of scrap paper.
Clean your roller immediately after using it for the best outcome. Step 2: Wash the Roller Frame :If you’re cleaning a roller after using an acrylic- or latex-based paint , remove the roller cover and place it in a bucket of hot water with a few drops of dish detergent.Place the roller frame in the bucket as well. Work the paint off the roller cage and handle, and use a wire brush to remove paint that’s lodged in the frame. Rinse well. For oil-based paints, submerge the roller in a suitable solvent like turpentine or mineral spirits to dissolve the paint, then rinse with solvent. Step 3: Wash the Paint Roller Cover :Keeping the roller cover in the bucket, work the paint out of the fibers with your hands. When all the paint is removed, rinse the roller thoroughly with warm water.To clean a roller after using oil-based paint, place the cover in a small container of paint thinner and scrape excess paint off the roller with a putty knife or the curved edge of a spatula. Let it dry. Step 4: Get the Water/Solvent Out: Remove any lingering moisture/solvent in the paint roller cover by shaking out as much water/solvent as possible. Step #5: Let dry: Stand the cover on its end to dry on a piece of scrap paper or a drop cloth—do not lay it flat.
