The wash shield disclosed herein comprises a sheet material in substantially cylindrical shape having a slot running parallel to the axis of the cylinder, in which cylindrical shape a paint roller may be enclosed while a stream of wash water is directed to the surface of the roller for the purpose of removing paint therefrom. This improved wash shield has a support or centering means against which a corner of the handle of the paint roller may be pressed or abutted so as to position the axis of the roller in a desired location inside the wash shield. This centering means may be attached to and extended from the side wall of the shield or where the shield has a cover, this centering means may be situated on the inside surface of this cover. Such a cover may be at one end of the cylinder which is at the top when the cylinder is held in a vertical position, and the opposite end or bottom end is open and extends about 0.75 inch or more beyond the end of the roller contained therein. The force of the wash stream rotates the roller very rapidly and the resultant centrifugal force throws the wash water and accompanying paint away from the roller and against the interior of the cylindrical shield and from there the wash liquid falls vertically and out the open end of the shield.
