Thanks for the video. OMG, it worked great. I tried your method of 5 gal. bucket, roller just inside enough to protect me from spatter bucket held in place with my ankles. I began the spray and found that I could easily control the speed of spin of the roller by varying the fan of the water spray with direction to roller. The water and positioning did all the work. once the water ran clear, stopped, pulled roller off the roller frame and rinsed inside to remove any remaining paint on frame and roller. You have saved me a ton of effort and the need to replace the roller after the first day. $$ Dollars, Time wasted in the past, made less waste, and just better productivity. Your video also showed me I do not need to buy any special tool to clean my rollers after a job. Awesome, I am passing the word at the paint store about your video! Carry On.
This is great. I just watched it. Went and did it and came back to give a like and a comment because my wife didn't care to hear about how well it worked :) also for anyone wondering.... The bucket is not optional
Hi! This was a helpful video, but I don't think paint is safe for the grass because even watered down latex paint can pollute groundwater or storm drains. I just looked up some guides on disposing of paint, and when you're washing off yourself or your tools, they say to just rinse watered-down paint down the drain. If you're connected to a municipal sewer system, any harmful chemicals in the paint will be removed at the wastewater treatment plant. The groundwater and the storm drains don't have that same wastewater treatment system, so they're at risk. I think I'm going to try something like this in the shower with some old shower curtains and a high pressure shower head :)
It's sad because there are more people that don't think about these things and we're literally poisoning our nature overall, our soil and ourselves. It's sad. Great post Claire.
I did this once to "save" money, the white paint I used before bled through the dark paint the next week. Maybe it didn't fully dry, either way, I wasted time and money repainting a room so I just throw them out now. If I"m doing my house, I'll keep the roller in a zip lock bag while I'm getting ready to paint again with the same color, but I won't use a different color with a washed roller ever again.
Use one of those flexible, expendable shower heads in your bathtub to clean the roller out, instead of in your kitchen sink. If you have the ability. And only if using acrylic water-based paints. Do it while showering to be extra efficient, and you clean the gear and yourself all at once.
I never thought of using the bucket as a splashguard. But here in the great white north, the majority of the year is too cold to use this trick outside. Kitchen sink for 1/2 the year
I just buy 3 packs from Lowe’s because the paint always ends up soaking in and never coming out. Plus the money and water waste is more than buying a new pack. Painting is annoying hahaha
@@johnjingleheimersmith9259 Oh. Man up. Didn't consider "manning-up". Meanwhile, those hoses and outdoor hose connections don't work well in cold climates in the winter. We don't use them in winter - man or woman.
Are you a clown? Even if you upgraded to a no-freeze spigots the garden hose isn't. Water in the hose freezes and don't allow water to pass through the hose. And if you say don't use the hose, then your splashing paint on your siding of the house giving you more to clean up. Think before you speak.
Easy, fill up an empty bucket of warm water in the tub or bath sink, flush down toilet or sink. repeat as many times as needed, for good luck then add some liquid detergent and let sit for a while and watch cleanliness of water, this is for water based paint. Water is expensive now a days, and your yard will still look pretty and the paint might not get in to the underground water system untreated.
I do the same, if I use a different colour I've normally got a separate tray and new roller at the ready for that...all well and good to wash, but he doesn't show you how to get all that water out?, so in effect it's not ready to use again is it
@@plushypuppy2024 Wetting rollers and brushes before use makes them easier to clean and helps remove hair, loose fibers, dust, etc. You'll also have a smoother finish on your walls.
@@okokokokyep3573 But won't that thin the paint?, I know you don't mean to saturate them but I'd much rather just have a new one instead of making work for myself
You don't need to clean the roller after each day. You can easily put it in a plastic bag, turn the pkastic around the roller and the next day, even after several days ,,, you can go on with painting. Of course only useful when you continue painting in the same colour😅
While the paint may technically not be ‘harmful’ it certainly isn’t good. Please don’t be encouraging people to disperse their waste like this. That’s what we have drains and waste processing plants for.
I will just go next door to buy new perfect rollers for minimal cost, and save my time which is worth WAY more then the cost of a few friggin’ paint rollers. I guess it is ok if one has to drive 100 miles. But just buy a few extra.
After any paint job all rollers have been broken down the fibers are worn the fibers are loose they are ready to be thrown out.. Some people want to be cheap... just to go out & buy new rollers wasting water it is a joke...
I use the same roller to apply primer and paint. Honestly a good quality roller won't break down that quickly. The amount of water used is minimal compared to the cost of a new roller
I clean my I’ve been cleaning my paint equipment in this yard for.... however old this video is about once a week. And it’s still nice and green. Latex based paint is harmless if you as sure to wash it in

And try to dilute the paint as much as possible before dumping it into your drain to prevent clogging too
This man has a 900IQ level, this is brilliant, thanks!

Lmao!
Obviously, you didn't get it completely clean or it wouldn't have "bled through".

Thank you brother this was awesome God-bless you

Wow. So informative. Had no idea this was possible. Thanks for a cool vid, my friend.
What about in winter - in cold weather? What is the best way to clean the paint roller inside the house?
put a jacket on and man up?
@@johnjingleheimersmith9259 Oh. Man up. Didn't consider "manning-up". Meanwhile, those hoses and outdoor hose connections don't work well in cold climates in the winter. We don't use them in winter - man or woman.
if you haven't upgraded to modern, no-freeze spigots, maybe so. Then again, why haven't you?

You can use a roller when it's wet?
Great video, going to try that.
l just love your videos.
Cheap enough to bin ,unless used following day. I wrap mine in cling film for following day usage this I do to brushes also
I do the same, if I use a different colour I've normally got a separate tray and new roller at the ready for that...all well and good to wash, but he doesn't show you how to get all that water out?, so in effect it's not ready to use again is it

2 minutes under a tap with a crescent scraper.. sleeves last for 20 jobs.
Enjoyed your video. Great tips, all of them, thanks.
where u get that water gun
How light is the tool belt what brand?
Is that what the carved part was for the whole time!

great idea good job!
Thanks for the info, good stuff! How do you dry it off?
Good question..
Thanks for the video.
This video helped us a ton on painting our new home! Thank you.
2:20 "I am going to water I am not staining my yard.." Dude your yard is IN DESPERATE NEED FOR ANY KIND OF COLOR!!! LOL
Herbert De Jesus it looks a lot better now
4:10 you have earned my subscription.
Thank you, sir.
I thought the roller needs to be dry before reusing it?
What is that curve thing?
5-in one tool
Cool trick!

Clearly you don’t have a septic system. We don’t have the luxury of washing our paint down the drains

Dude. Ride the bull. Best idea ever. The brush was flinging paint all over me! Thank you!
Thanks for the tip. "I am a capitalist" = weird flex but ok.
He shared this tip for free. Damn commie. Just kidding...
😂
I do have ads enabled...
@@DaileyWoodworks cool w me. We all gotta make a living. 🤷🏻
who’s gives a f y’all some b itches anyways
Unless you control the wind there is no need to apologise for it
Significant advantage here: no contamination of water system by paint into plumbing. Speed also terrific.
however, direct contamination to the land, perhaps?
After any paint job all rollers have been broken down the fibers are worn the fibers are loose they are ready to be thrown out..
Some people want to be cheap... just to go out & buy new rollers wasting water it is a joke...

Good idea but I do mine down the manhole 😀
Knowing dam well he got that idea from the Idaho painters channel and taking all the credit.. lol 😂
Ok but you didn't show us how you dry it?
Wait
how to paint grass
The roller is clean but the grass is dirty!! Not as good as expected by me!!
Numerous insects and worms were probably killed in the making of this video.
Who cares..
@@BRExteriorPro a lot of people who have values, unlike yourself.
Ya l don’t think it is safe l love it but ya
Your tool belts backwards bub
Incorrect, it’s a finishing belt not a framing belt.
a new roller would cost less than all the water you are using to clean an old one save the effort not worth after all that work painting
If you aren’t using an 18” roller, you’re wasting everybody’s time.
This mess should not be done in.green area
I clean my I’ve been cleaning my paint equipment in this yard for.... however old this video is about once a week. And it’s still nice and green. Latex based paint is harmless if you as sure to wash it in
You're a capitalist and you use a roller to paint? Hope you enjoy being put out of business by "Big Airless".
you're a capitalist you say? right on brother MAGA
Goodness look at the state of the garden🫣
This is just sad, too many wrongs
