No matter what type of paint you are using, you can gently rub the bristles of the paint rollers with your hands during the rinsing process if necessary to avoid clumping of the painting tools.. after the paint rollers have been cleaned, you will want to shake out any excess water from the paint rollers, you can absorb the water with a dry cloth.

Kraft paper and plastic bags are both good options for storing paint rollers. For kraft paper, choose a size that is slightly wider than the sleeve of the wall brushes. If you choose to use a plastic bag, you can make a hole in the bag to prevent mould. paint rollers should also be stored in an upright position to avoid indentations in the lint.
