Is the Homeright Rapid Clean tool worth it?
In my personal opinion, I tried the Rapid Clean Tool, and you have to be very close to a faucet that can accept the hose connection. It needs a threaded connection, and most faucets in homes don’t have a threaded connection. At least my home doesn’t have it.
My only option was our hose spigot, which worked, but it was so low to the ground that I had to bend over and my back hurt so bad by the time I was done.
The way that it cleaned worked, but I did still have to take it apart and make sure everything was cleaned after running the rapid clean tool.
If you can use it in your utility sink, then it might be worth it for you!
How to Clean Homeright Paint Sprayer
Ready to dig into a detailed guide on how to clean your Homeright Paint Sprayer? Remember, giving it a good clean is key to keeping it in top shape and performing at its best. Let’s go through it step by step.
Before you get started, make sure to unplug the Homeright paint sprayer for safety. After that, unscrew the container from the sprayer and then pull back the trigger to let the paint inside the sprayer empty into the container.
Empty out the container and scrape off as much paint as you can, then give the container and the suction rube a good rinse with warm water if you are using waterbased paint in the sprayer.
If you use oil based or shellac based products, refer to the product can for instructions on what to clean your product up with.

Then fill the container with warm soapy water, or whatever it is you are cleaning your sprayer with depending on the paint you used. Spray the warm soapy water into a bucket to rinse the inside of the paint sprayer and get rid of any hidden paint residue.
If you don’t think it got cleaned out enough, fill the container with clean water and spray it again. This will get rid of any remaining soapy water as well as any paint left inside of the sprayer. It’s optional, but it’s best for a thorough clean.
After the rinse, unscrew the cap and tip from the sprayer head and give them a good rinse-off. These parts often trap small bits of paint that can affect the sprayer’s performance later on.
Take some extra time to clean the area where the sprayer attaches to the container. There’s a black part inside that can be a bit tricky to clean, but using a brush or toothpick will do the trick in removing stubborn paint particles.
And remember, the motor doesn’t detach from the sprayer head, so be careful not to get it wet. Water damage can seriously mess up the functionality of your paint sprayer.
Then let everything dry before putting it back together.
And voila! Your Homeright Paint Sprayer is sparkling clean and ready for your next project!
