Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for cleaning various types of paint from a conventional paint roller cover without the necessity of removing the cover from their paint roller handle. The device includes a cylindrical containment vessel having a paint-roller-handle access slot, an access-slot spray shield, four support legs, a hinged lid, a transport handle, a cleaning solution supply valve, a drain valve, and a pair of parallel and longitudinally disposed spray bars. The two spray bars direct streams of water under pressure tangentially to opposite sides of the paint roller cover, that is manually positioned in a plane halfway between them. This causes the paint roller cover to rotate at a high velocity on its axis and thereby clean the roller cover by the water and centrifugal force thus generated. Water is supplied to the device by means of a standard garden hose which is connected to an exterior fitting of the supply valve.
