It’s happened to all of us who have ever been painting with a house remodeling in Cleveland project. At the end of a long day of house remodeling in Cleveland, the last thing we want to do is go through the tedious method of rinsing and cleaning a paint roller. This usually means that the paint dries onto the roller and ultimately ruins it. So here’s a tip that makes cleaning a roller during a house remodeling in Cleveland project easier. Follow this house remodeling in Cleveland tip and you won’t have to head back to the hardware store for a new roller after every coat.
The trick is to store the roller in an empty potato chip tube, like a Pringles can. Here’s what to do: immediately after you finish applying your last coat for the day during a house remodeling in Cleveland project, quickly rinse off all excess paint. Then slide the roller off the frame. If you’re using a normal sized paint roller for your house remodeling in Cleveland project, then you’ll be able to slide the roller into the potato chip tube.
Now here’s where the simple genius of this tip comes in. The paint roller should fit all the way in the can, so you can simply put the plastic lid on top. This should keep the roller from drying out. The plastic cap will be enough to keep your roller good overnight, but if you’re not planning on using it for more than a few days, then give the tube an extra layer of sealant with some duct tape and put it in the refrigerator. The cool refrigerator air and the high humidity in the potato chip tube should be enough to keep the paint from drying out.

Thats indeed great! Hubby has been wasting a lot of money for the roller paint alone. The potato chip tube is indeed a great idea!
