ABSTRACT:
An elongated, hollow, cylindrical body is provided with an end wall at one end through which a liquid inlet opens and the other end of the body is open. The inside diameter of the body is of a size to snugly and slidably receive a paint roller therein and the length of the interior of the body is greater than the length of a paint roller. The open end of the body includes a hook for engagement with the support frame of a paint roller handle structure from which the paint roller to be cleaned is journaled. The paint roller to be cleaned is telescoped into the open end of the body to an extent greater than the length of the paint roller and the frame of the handle assembly is engaged with the hook carried by the body in order to prevent withdrawal of the roller from the body. Thereafter, liquid under pressure is admitted into the interior of the body through the liquid inlet and the liquid under pressure is thereby caused to pass through the nap of the paint roller between the roller core and the internal surfaces of the body to thereby flush paint residue from the nap. The fluid utilized may be water or paint thinner, as desired.
