To wash paint rollers from paint under the tap manually - tiring and long. At the same time, the water consumption is quite decent.
And with the help of a simple home-made device, you can not only speed up this process, but also save about one bucket of water.
The device itself is very simple. You will need a steel bar with a diameter of 8 mm, at the end of which a thread is cut under the wing nut.
Also, a removable flange is put on the bar, which can be adjusted to different lengths of the rollers, which is very convenient.
Instead of a flange, you can use a piece of polypropylene pipe, which at one end abuts against the drill chuck and the other at the roller itself.
How to quickly wash the paint roller
We insert the bar into the drill chuck or screwdriver. We put a roller on it and fix it with a wing nut.
Then we lower the roller in a bucket of water and turn on the drill. Among the disadvantages of this method, it can be noted that during the washing process, water is sprayed in different directions.
But this is easy to fix if you use a bucket with a lid, in which you need to drill a hole for the roller.
After washing the roller, it must be rinsed already in clean water, and then "shake off" the drops remaining on the villi in an empty bucket.
