A paint roller sleeve cleaner 10 comprises a substantially cylindrical sleeve 12 having an inside surface 14, the inside surface 14 including at least one helical rib 16 projecting radially inwards such that when the cylindrical sleeve 12 is passed over an associated roller sleeve (56, fig 6), there is a radial close fit between the helical rib 16 and the roller sleeve (56, fig 6) such that paint on the roller surface (56, fig 6) is removed by the helical rib 16 scraping against the surface of the sleeve. Preferably the helical rib 16 completes between one and three revolutions on the inside surface 14 of the cylindrical sleeve 12. The roller sleeve cleaner 10 may form part of the roller assembly and may either be snap-fitted or screwed onto the handle (52, fig 6) of the roller assembly. Alternatively the helical rib 16 may be replaced by at least two distinct annular ribs. |
