Product Information
Full details
This 9" GoodHome Long Pile Polyamide Roller Sleeve is designed for DIY painters tackling interior and exterior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is a high capacity for paint hold and release, enabling fast coverage, especially on rough surfaces, and mess-free removal of the sleeve. A potential consideration is that it is a replacement sleeve and requires a roller frame.

FAQs
What size roller frame do I need?
You will need a standard 9" roller frame to fit this roller sleeve.
Can I use this roller sleeve for gloss paint?
This roller sleeve is designed for emulsion and masonry paints. For gloss or oil-based paints on smooth surfaces, a short pile or foam roller may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the roller sleeve after painting?
For water-based paints, rinse with water until clean and air dry. For oil-based paints, use the recommended solvent, clean thoroughly, and air dry.
Is this roller sleeve suitable for ceilings?
Yes, its high capacity and coverage make it suitable for painting ceilings, especially those with a slightly textured finish.
How often should I replace the roller sleeve?
The longevity depends on usage and care. With proper cleaning and storage, it can be reused multiple times. Replace it when the fibers become significantly worn or the sleeve no longer holds paint effectively.
What is the main advantage of the long pile?
The long pile is designed to hold more paint and effectively cover uneven or rough surfaces, ensuring a more consistent finish and faster application on these types of materials.
Troubleshooting
Roller sleeve is difficult to remove.
Ensure you are using the correct click-off mechanism. Press the release buttons firmly on the roller frame while gently pulling the sleeve away. If paint has dried onto the mechanism, try cleaning it with water or appropriate solvent before attempting removal again.
Uneven paint coverage.
Check if the sleeve is saturated evenly. Ensure the surface is properly prepared. For very rough surfaces, a second coat may be necessary. Make sure you are using sufficient paint on the roller.
Excessive paint shedding from the roller.
This can happen with new rollers. Wash the roller sleeve gently before first use to remove any loose fibers. Ensure the sleeve is properly secured to the frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a replacement roller sleeve. To use, simply slide it onto a compatible 9" roller frame, ensuring it is securely attached. The sleeve is designed to slip on and off easily.
Compatibility: The GoodHome Long Pile Polyamide Roller Sleeve is compatible with standard 9" roller frames. It is suitable for use with all emulsion paints and masonry paints.
Care: After use, remove the sleeve from the roller frame using the click-off mechanism. Clean the sleeve thoroughly depending on the type of paint used. For water-based paints, rinse under running water until the water runs clear, then gently squeeze out excess water and allow to air dry completely. For oil-based paints, clean with the appropriate solvent (e.g., white spirit) according to the paint manufacturer's instructions, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry. Store in a dry place.
