A paint roller pad is cleaned while being supported on an apparatus including an elongated coil having a shank connected thereto and coaxially extended from one end thereof. When at rest, the coil has an outside diameter less than the inside diameter of the roller pad so that the coil may be axially inserted into the bore of the roller pad. Upon insertion, the coil is adapted to radially expand in response to rotation of the shank in a direction to unwind the coil with the result that the rotating coil engages the roller pad and rotates the same therewith. The method of the invention thus includes axially inserting a coil into the bore of a roller pad and rotating the coil in a direction to unwind the same, thereby radially expanding the coil to engage and rotate the roller pad while removing paint from an exterior portion of the pad.
