I have two of those rollers that look like a paint roller that have
the sticky surfaces. I use them to clean my pool table. I have
difficulty getting them clean. I use dish soap, and it makes them
passable, but I can still see gunge and hair on there. I'm not going
to take the time to pick it off, and it is sticky after cleaning,
just think it could be a bit cleaner.

Any magic solution to clean these things with?


I don't think you can. The crap is stuck. You can mechanically remove it
(tweezers, etc.), but anything that will chemically loosen the bond will
probably destroy the stickiness of the roller.

You might try the Pledge Fabric Sweeper

For the life of me, I can't figure out how the damn thing works, but works
it does. At least for cat fur.

I recently remodeled the kitchen. (Translation: three months of chaos and
drywall dust.) Had a lot of texturing and remudding of some adjacent rooms.
End result, lots of dust everywhere.

I got out the Mighty Mite Eureka vacuum. I took the little T handle thing
and put some velcro strips along the edge to give it a soft edge. It will
just about get stuck on the felt. It, along with the crevice cleaner, did a
fine job of getting it all off. Then a run over with the two roller
cleaners, and it's good to go.

I guess those rollers age, and so long as they are sticky after cleaning, it
doesn't matter too much what they look like.
