Tried that one; still walking with a limp ;-)

You can get a set made by a company called Dandy which cleans them in about 20 seconds flat.

Damn brilliant they are, got mine for 19 quid on QVC

It consists of a plastic insert that goes inside most rollers and has a metal spindal on the end which you insert into the chuck of your electric drill (corded or cordless) point the thing into a cardboard box lined with a plastic bag and spin for say 10 seconds (cleans the bulk off) then you dip it in a bucket of water (the roller NOt the drill) stick the thing back in the cardboard box and spin for anther 10 seconds.

hey presto its clean.

Dandy paint roller cleaner - fits in an electric drill and throws off all paint in seconds,

[Gnube]

got them here for 12.99 - are these the same though?

Care, Gnube I don't want to win the lottery I just want to win a barn full of seasoned timber! ;O)

Or you just wrap them in a plastic bag to prevent drying out and keep re-using for the same colour paint, then throw away the furry bit, retaining the cage bit for future use. Life is too short.
