Prep Your Rollers

Now, one piece of advice worth mentioning is to take the time to use a lint brush on your rollers before painting. This helps eliminate loose fluff or debris that might come off and land on your freshly painted walls. After that (if it's a roller you've used before), give the roller a quick trim around the edges with a small pair of scissors to remove crusty edges that could prevent you from achieving a smooth finish.

Then, prime the roller with water, and you're good to go! Finally, once you've finished painting, rinse off the roller in warm water, and it should be good as new for your next painting session!
