Although, freezing them isn't usually necessary unless you're not going to get back to painting for over a week, and if that's the case, you're better off just cleaning the sleeve. I've found that placing the roller sleeve in refrigerator keeps it frest for days. And it's important to squeeze out all the air before sealing the bag with a twist tie. Thanks for writing, Gary, and good luck!--Joe T. Hi Gary, I agree. A plastic bag is an excellent way to keep paint-roller sleeves fresh.

(You can leave it on the handle!) Squeeze out as much air as possible, and place it in your freezer. Next day, or week, remove the roller from the freezer and allow it to thaw while you get the rest of your tools ready. Work some fresh paint into it in the roller tray, and it's 'good to go'!! A bread bag is a clean way to remove and dispose of a roller when you are through with it! Slip the bag over the roller, pull off the roller, close the bag, and throw!
