ABSTRACT:
A paint roller cleaning system for cleaning a paint roller in a confined and controlled environment thereby preventing outside contamination. The inventive device includes a housing, a first cover attached to a portion of the open end, a second cover pivotally attached to the housing opposite of the first cover, a centrally positioned notch within the first cover and the second cover, a dispensing tube having a plurality of nozzles slidably extending through the first cover through an aperture, an elbow member attached to the dispensing tube, a compression spring secured about the dispensing tube between the first cover and the elbow member, an entry tube attached to the elbow member, and a hose coupler secured to the entry tube for threadably attaching to a conventional garden hose. Water supplied to the hose coupler is dispensed through the nozzles within the dispensing tube toward the sleeve of the conventional paint roller. As the water engages the sleeve, the sleeve is rotated upon the conventional paint roller while the user simultaneously lowers and raises the dispensing tube to ensure complete saturation of the sleeve. As the sleeve rotates the centrifugal force removes the water-paint mixture toward the interior walls of the housing where after it drains to the bottom of the housing. The housing is utilized to dispose of the water-paint mixture when finished cleaning the sleeve.
