Purdy Brush and Roller Cleaner with Stainless Steel Blade

The Purdy Brush and Roller Cleaner is a hand tool designed to make cleaning paint out of brushes and roller covers faster and easier. It uses a rust resistant stainless steel blade to scrape dried or wet paint from bristles, especially the hard to reach area near the ferrule, and to strip paint and fluff from roller sleeves so less paint and water is wasted during clean up.

Use Case

Built for painters and decorators who clean brushes and rollers regularly and want to get more life out of their tools. The comfort thumb grip and smooth ergonomic handle make it easy to hold and control while you work the blade through bristles or along a roller sleeve, and the handle shape allows for easy retrieval if the tool is set down in a bucket of water.

How to Use

1. Rinse or wash the brush or roller in warm water with mild soap, or in mineral spirits for oil based paint, until most of the colour has lifted.
2. Hold the Purdy Brush and Roller Cleaner by the ergonomic handle and draw the stainless steel blade gently along the bristles, working from the ferrule down to the tip to push out trapped paint.
3. For roller covers, run the blade along the sleeve to strip off excess paint and loose fibres before the final rinse.
4. Rinse the brush or roller again until the water runs clear, then reshape the bristles and leave the tool to dry flat or in its original keeper.

FAQs

How do you use a Purdy brush and roller cleaner?
Wash the brush or roller in warm soapy water or mineral spirits first, then draw the stainless steel blade along the bristles or roller sleeve to scrape out any paint left near the ferrule or trapped in the fibres, and rinse again until the water runs clear.

Is the Purdy Brush and Roller Cleaner the same as a spinner?
No. This tool uses a stainless steel blade to scrape paint out of brushes and roller covers. It does not spin brushes or rollers to remove water, so it is best used as part of the washing step rather than the drying step.

Can it be used on both brushes and rollers?
Yes. The blade is designed to work along bristles near the ferrule as well as along the surface of a roller sleeve, helping to remove trapped paint from both types of tool.
