1. What’s the difference between short, medium, and long pile roller sleeves?

Pile length affects how much paint the sleeve holds and how it finishes. Short pile suits smooth surfaces, long pile is best for rough or textured areas.

2. Can I use the same roller sleeve for water and oil-based paints?

This is not recommended – it’s best to use separate sleeves where possible. Gloss roller sleeves or solvent-resistant ones are better for oil-based paints; microfibre types suit water-based emulsions.

3. How do I clean and store paint roller sleeves after use?

Clean sleeves immediately with water or solvent, depending on the paint type. Let them dry fully before storing in a clean, dry place.
