ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device for cleaning a soiled paint roller. The device comprises a housing supported by at least two leg members. The housing includes an opened top, a plurality of sidewalls and a bottom wall. A spindle is interiorly mounted to the bottom wall of the container at a predetermined height, the spindle having means for circumferentially engaging the paint roller. An inlet port is mounted to a side wall and in fluid communication with a cleaning fluid source. At least one stationary sprayer is interiorly mounted to the bottom wall at a predetermined height and a predetermined distance from an end of the spindle. The at least one stationary sprayer is operationally coupled to the inlet port and is in fluid communication with the inlet port for providing a continuous stream of water directly onto the paint roller. At least one pivoting sprayer is interiorly mounted to the bottom portion at a predetermined height and a predetermined distance from the spindle. The at least one pivoting sprayer is in fluid communication with the inlet port for providing a continuous stream of water directly onto the paint roller. A control valve operationally connected to the inlet port. The control valve allows the user to selectively initiate and terminate the flow of cleaning fluid between the at least one stationary sprayer and the at least one pivoting sprayer. In an alternative embodiment, the device can be adapted with a reservoir for providing the cleaning fluid into the housing.
