Paint equipment: saving you time AND money....

About 2 ½ years ago, I bought a magazine called, “The Family Handyman: Budget DIY”.  Inside was filled with wonderful step-by-step instructions for great projects AND advice on products and ideas for making homeownership cheaper and more enjoyable.

When we bought our 2^nd home, where every inch of it needed to be painted, I convinced my husband we needed to buy one of their recommended “tools”: a roller cover cleaner. My husband HATES painting—so he agreed. Anything to make the job easier! I can’t tell you how many times in the past 2 years we have used this “roller cover cleaner”, but it has saved us HOURS of clean up time (and water) AND our roller cover still acts like NEW! It has been worth every penny! (the ACTUAL cost was $25) But if we think of the money we saved on not having to replace our *nice* roller cover—it more than paid for itself! In fact, when we talked with the man who sold it to us, he said that home improvement stores won’t carry his product because it works so well that people wouldn’t buy roller covers anymore after using his product! We tried him at his word—and he was right! Makes you feel a little less guilty for buying a quality paint roller cover when it lasts forever! Not to mention your walls look fabulous when using good equipment!

The tube was CLEAR when we bought it 3 years ago...
Please remember we have painted every inch of ONE house and the exterior of another with the use of this tool!

The most fantastic part of the product is when you are done painting, all you have to do is insert the dirty roller cover into the tube, hook it up to a faucet or hose and it flushes it clean in minutes!!

So here's how it works.....
1. Paint to your heart's content...
2. Scrape excess paint back into your paint can.
3.  Insert dirty paint roller cover into the tube.

4.  Attach it to a faucet or hose (inside or outside)

This is a picture directly after turning on the water...flushing the paint out!

5. Turn on the water

Just let the water run until it runs CLEAR...

6.  Take it out and let it dry!

My husband recently took a side job painting the exterior of an acquaintance’s home for some extra money.  He again commented about how much easier this tool has made his job!!
