Abstract: A device is provided for easily and efficiently washing a water-based paint from a paint roller laden with such paint. The device is comprised of a circular cylindrical jacket held by a base cup having a closed lower extremity. An entrance channel penetrates said cup and jacket adjacent the closed lower extremity of the cup. A threaded coupling is associated with the cup in alignment with the entrance channel. In operation, a garden hose is coupled to the device and caused to direct a flow of water through the entrance channel and into the jacket. Said flow caused paint to be flushed from a roller inserted into the jacket.
