Cleaning and maintenance of brushes, brushes and rollers

In the event that the brush or brush has a solvent paint, such as synthetic enamel, oil, varnish or lacquer, dip in a small container with the appropriate solvent, which is usually turpentine, turpentine or universal solvent. If you still notice that the bristles have paint left on, repeat the washing process by renewing the solvent. To remove all the rest of it, which can affect the bristles wash with soap and water, and finally rinse with plenty of water.

If you are not going to use the tools for a long time, store them in a container with the bristles up or hanging from the hole they have in the handle. This is to prevent the bristles from bending or deforming.

 

Roller wash

To remove the paint from the paint rollers repeat the same steps as with the brushes:

 

Remove the paint you can most

Wash with the appropriate diluent

Wash with soap and water or detergent

Let dry and keep them hanging

For some rollers you can remove the cover or lining, so that the work is done much faster and with less waste of water or diluent. But due to the amount of paint they absorb in many cases, especially with synthetic paints, it is better to discard them and buy a replacement or a new roller for each use.

Recover a brush or brush with dry paint

When a brush has been kept with paint and it is strongly attached to the bristles it is very difficult to remove it, also surely to lost the shape and the bristles are crooked, so it is not convenient to work. If you also want to recover the brush or brush you must immerse it in hot water for several hours in case of water-based paints, and in tiner or some universal solvent in case of solvent paints. The turpentine usually does not work.

If you still can't soften the adhered paint, dip the bristles for only a few minutes in a chemical stripper, also known elsewhere as a paint remover. Once the paint softens it can be removed with a steel brush or with a comb. Then wash with water or solvent, according to the type of paint.

Maintenance overnight

If the day is over and you still do not finish a paint job, you do not need to wash the tools, you just have to keep them moist so that the paint does not harden. For this you can immerse the brushes or brushes used with plastic, acrylic or latex paints in water, and in solvent what the solvent or synthetic paints and varnishes contain. The next day before using you should remove as much liquid as possible so that the paint does not drip.

 

Remember that, although they are not too expensive, through good care paint tools can have a long service life. And if we keep them in good condition, this will also be noticed in the works.
