Abstract
An arrangement for cleaning paint rollers after their use. The paint roller is held between bearings within an enclosure, and is freely rotatable on said bearings. The enclosure communicates with a source of cleansing fluid which is directed through an elongated orifice along the length of the roller. The orifice in the enclosure is displaced above the axis of the roller, and the force of the cleansing fluid impinging on the surface of the roller, causes the roller to rotate and become cleansed on the surface thereof.
