1. As long as the paint rollers are used and maintained correctly, they can be used many times

Under normal circumstances, brush rollers can be reused. We know that paint rollers have different materials of bristles, and different materials of bristles are suitable for different paints. If you choose to use unsuitable paint rollers to apply unsuitable paint, it will not be conducive to the service life of paint rollers and also affect the painting effect.  However, paint rollers made of sponges are difficult to clean and are usually used as a one-time use, and they are not suitable for applying ordinary latex paint.

2. The correct way to clean paint rollers

After the painting work is completed, it is necessary to clean the paint rollers correctly and in time. Be sure to clean the brush rollers in time. When the paint of the paint rollers is still wet, clean it. This is to prevent the paint braid remaining on the paint rollers from drying out and agglomerating, making it difficult to clean the paint rollers. The cleaning methods of latex paint and oily oil are different, and I will introduce you here. If you want to clean paint rollers that have been painted with latex paint, first you need to roll off the excess paint on the waste paper. If there is dry paint on the edges of your paint rollers, you can use a rubber spatula to hang off the excess paint. This step is to make your cleaning work more convenient. Next, you need to wash the paint rollers with running warm water. During this process, you can gently rub the bristles of the paint rollers with your hands. If your paint rollers are applying oily paint, the process of removing excess paint is the same as latex paint, but before being washed by water, paint rollers need to use cleaning solvents to dilute oil-based paints, such as mineral spirits, denatured alcohol and paint thinners. These can be used to clean paint rollers applied with oily paint. The next step is the same, flush the paint rollers with running warm water until the paint rollers become clean.

 

 3. The correct way to maintain paint rollers

After the paint rollers are cleaned, you need to shake off the excess water left behind. You need to place them in a ventilated and shady place to dry them. Do not expose them to the sun. This will damage the bristles of the painting tools. Conducive to keeping it in good condition so that it can be reused. If your painting tools have long fluff, please remember to fluff the fluff to avoid tangling with each other during storage. When the paint rollers are dry, you can use kraft paper or plastic bags to store them. The kraft paper should be slightly wider than the sleeve, so the extra part can be stuffed into the sleeve. If you choose to use a plastic bag, please remember to make a hole in the plastic bag to circulate air to prevent mold. No matter what kind of material is used to store paint rollers, it should be kept upright. This is to avoid the occurrence of pressure marks on the fluff.
