Roller Cover Maintenance
-
Remove sleeve from frame immediately after using.
-
Clean roller covers immediately after use. Never leave sleeve soaking in water or solvent.
Cleaning oil-base paints, varnishes, lacquers and shellacs from your roller cover
Closely follow manufacturer's instructions in selecting the proper cleaning solvent (mineral spirits or paint thinner for paint and varnish, denatured alcohol for shellac, etc.) Pour the solvent into a container and dip the roller cover into the solvent. Repeat this process using a clean container and fresh solvent until the roller cover is clean.
 Cleaning water-base paints from your roller covers
Wash with soap and warm water and rinse until clean. Repeat the process if necessary. Always use a clean container with clean soapy water and follow with a clear water rinse. For stubborn water-base paints, try mineral spirits or lacquer thinner, followed by warm soapy water and a clean water rinse.
-
Dry and store your roller covers with care. You may want to purchase a spinner or frame to help remove excess water from the roller covers. String roller covers on rope or place on dowels to aid in drying the sleeves. Don't stand roller on its end or lay it on its nap. Dry thoroughly before storing in dust-free cabinets or boxes.
Be sure to properly dispose of spent solvent.
