I never clean roller covers.

Just finished painting my 3,200 sqft house with a manual roller. Took
me two weeks, part time, including preparation. I used one roller
frame and cover. When stopping work for any length of time, or
overnite, I soaked the roller in paint and wrapped the roller and
frame tightly in a grocery type plastic bag.

This keeps the roller wet and workable for at least 3 days. After I
finished painting the house, I threw away the roller cover. No
cleanup.


Plastic wrap or produce bag works better. Can last for weeks or months in
frig if fully covered. Two good size grocery bags (one from each end) are
good for covering the entire tray. I've tossed that in the frig as well.
