Brushes & Rollers
Step 1: Using three clean plastic containers large enough to hold the tools being cleaned, fill one bucket with soap and water. Fill two other buckets with clean water. This will create a wash bucket, first rinse bucket, and a second rinse bucket.
Step 2: Place the item to be cleaned into the wash bucket.
Step 3: Using a properly protected hand, work the cleaning solution through the brush bristles/roller cover. (*TIP*: The use of a brush comb will be helpful to remove dried paint and debris from deep within the bristles.)
Step 4: Wring out excess cleaning solution by squeezing brush bristles/roller covers.
Step 5: Place item to be cleaned into the first rinse bucket.
Step 6: Repeat steps 3 and 4.
Step 7: Place item to be cleaned into the second rinse bucket.
Step 8: Repeat steps 3 and 4.
Step 9: Allow tools to dry. (*TIP*: To dry brushes and rollers quickly, use a brush spinner.)
Step 10: Place brushes and roller covers back into their protective coverings. (*TIP*: If original coverings are not available, cover by wrapping a piece of glossy magazine paper around the bristles and roller cover.)
Storing Leftover Product
Step 1: Clean the outside edge of the interior rim of the can with a clean dry rag.
Step 2: Place the lid on top of the can.
Step 3: Place a clean rag over the top of the lid to protect from splattering any leftover product.
Step 4: Using a rubber mallet, gently tap the lid, working around the perimeter until the lid has fully sealed.
Step 5: Store leftover paint or primer in a dry location, avoiding extreme temperatures. (*TIP*: To recycle or properly dispose of product in your community, call 1-800-CLEANUP [U.S. Only])
