    Abstract: Disclosed is a device for cleaning paint roller covers. At the end of a painting operation, the operator removes one or more paint roller cover, places them onto a shaft and drops into open slots on the ends of the enclosure. A pressurized fluid hose is attached and allows the fluid to penetrate the entire length of the roller covers. The fluid can be adjusted to direction of the flow to the axis of the roller covers may be used to control the rate of spin and penetration of the fluid into the cover. The adjustment can also be used to optimally direct the fluid flow for smaller trim roller covers to very thick diameter roller covers. The operator may then leave the device operating unattended while it washes and cleans all the paint from the outside surface of the roller covers.
