ABSTRACT:
A paint roller cleaner includes a substantially tubular vertical housing incorporating a base for stability and a frame guide for conveniently securing a roller in vertical position within the housing. The frame guide snaps quickly onto the wire frame of the roller, and is so unobtrusive that it may be left on the roller frame during the painting process itself. In use, the frame guide seats easily within a side opening at the top open end of the housing. The frame guide is of substantially T-shaped configuration, with a circumferentially curved head and a stem. In alternative embodiments, the frame guide may be constructed so as to offer a plurality of positions for the roller when secured within the housing. The roller cleaner receives water from an outside water supply and directs the water jets against the paint roller being cleaned. The water jets make contact with the secured roller such that the rotatable mounting piece of the roller spins quickly. The mechanism results in a clean and substantially dry paint roller within thirty seconds when working under pressures of a typical municipal water supply.
