Ever painted a room with rollers? And then had to wash them out? Rollers are a bitch to wash out.

Well, I just washed a whole bunch out. I didn't even get to do the fun part - the painting.

Each and every flippin' roller I spent all that time standing over the sink cleaning is being thrown out.

*bangs head against desk*

The paint pads you sometimes use instead of rollers also suck to wash. I've had to wash them far too many times doing the TV room, though I guess that's what you get for using 5 different paint colours =P

Hell yes, I know. We painted the basement last summer and over the fall/winter and that was pain.

A basement too! The fumes must have been killer.

one time we painted a room and nobody washed out the rollers when we were done. so the next day, there are all these rollers, still on the handles, covered in dry paint. and completely useless.

Aw man, that is the worst. They're impossible to pry off the handle thingy once they're dry.

Thank you for saving me from that job :P Too bad that they had to be thrown out though. I suppose the ones I used for staining are going to be garbage as well. Oh well :P

They are a bitch to wash out.

I was under the impression that that's why they're disposable.
