Abstract: Paint rollers may be cleaned of water soluble paints within this apparatus which is comprised of an enclosed housing with a drain at the bottom which also contains an oscillating water manifold the length of the roller which produces a series of water jets aligned with the elongated axis of the housing which impact the paint roller starting at a tangent to the roller so as to impart a spin. The water manifold oscillates aligned with the elongated axis of the roller from the tangent to a center of roller that slows the spin of the roller which oscillates to the opposite tangent of the roller and which spins the roller in the opposite direction. The enclosed housing also contains a single jet of water aligned near the top of the roller and at a tangent to the roller which impacts the paint roller starting at a tangent to the roller so as to impart a spin.
