Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Grady Johnson and I'm a professional painter and today I represent expertvillage.com. Well we have finished our paint job and now it is time to clean up. That is always inevitable so to start with is we are going to start with these brushes. Okay, now with these brushes you seem to get this line of paint all along the edge here, the same thing happening with the wall brush which I had here soaking for sometime and all these little flex of paint get in here too. That is where the wire brush comes in handy we need to knock all of that off. Do the same thing on this one and just get all of that knocked off of there. I like to use a little warm water when I'm inside, you can use all cold if that is all you have outside or whatever. And what you are going to do is start working this paint out of there and just keep working it. Okay the other brushes as well. Alright all the paint in there just keep going until you get all out of there and you are going to tap that out as well. Shake it out of the stock and again we are going to clean that out with the wire brush as well. Okay we are going to set that aside so we can put that up later. Now out cut pots are down and turn that upside down so they can drain and now we are going to move on to our roller set up. Now with the roller the main thing you need to do is get all of this paint out of here it is going to be lot more in the roller that you fine in a brush. Okay I put my cut pots away and I go ahead and get some water in here then you just start dumping this over and over again until you get that paint out of there. And we would do this for a little while until you get where you want it and when it looks like it is good and done we go ahead and start cleaning up the bucket. So first of all take your roller out, pop it off it's frame and clean up the roller. Now that I got that done I want to get this paint out of my roller now. A little hot and just keep working that out like this. Little by little that paint will come out you just don't want it to get too heavy for you. Set that out of your way and dump that excess water. Alright once you got that down go ahead and set your bucket a little bit more and set you bucket it out of the way and you can start to work on this roller now. Alright we are going to go ahead and grab now, now we are going to spin it okay. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to get the water in a good pressure here and get some speed on it as soon as we get this started. The sun would dry out the roller for you, you see it is nice and fluffy. You are going to go ahead and pull that off, set that out of the way and that is pretty much we all need to do to do our clean up and this is all the steps that you need to remember whenever you are cleaning up your tools at the end of the job."
