How many of you clean out roller covers and reuse and how many use a different one for each color/job? I would like to use a new roller for different colors in one job so I won't have to take the time to clean them out ( I hate cleaning out roller covers) but I am not sure the time saved would be worth the cost and I don't want to use cheap covers. So what does everyone do?

i use a different one for each color....when i get home i still have to clean brushes,cups and then make dinner , do business stuff, do laundry , clean...so time is money and i'd rather buy new then have to take the time to clean them.buy my rollers in bulk so they are not that expensive

Can't remember the last time i washed a roller. I use woosters super doo z or pro doo z I find them online or at pro show and buy in bulk that keeps the price down on them.

I use whizz fabs, takes about 5 minutes to clean one, holds as much as the purdy versions and yes... I use a different one for each color if I do more than one color per day. I've had one particular whizz fab cover for over 8 months now. The other ones.. I buy per job and toss.

Ok well maybe ten minutes to clean but still.
