Paint roller cleaning

A paint roller cover cleaning system, comprising:

• configured to house a paint roller cover, a tubular enclosure defined by an exterior surface surrounding an interior surface surrounding a lumen having a center and a length extending from an open first end to an open second end;
• in communication with the lumen, a slot formed through the exterior and interior surfaces of the tubular enclosure and having a sidewall projecting outward from the exterior surface of the tubular enclosure as well as into the lumen and forming a rib within the lumen;
• configured to surround and close the open first end of the tubular enclosure, a cap;
• configured for rotatable coupling with the cap through a first axle and for insertion into a lumen of a paint roller cover from a first end, a first rotor having a length extending from a first end plate to a second end plate;
• configured to support the tubular enclosure while surrounding the second open end, a base including one or more drain holes and a bottom rim;
• and
• configured for rotatable coupling with the base through a second axle and for insertion into a lumen of a paint roller cover from a second end, a second rotor having a length extending from a first end plate to a second end plate;
• and
• wherein the slot and the rib are configured to cooperate to direct a fluid stream into the lumen along a path tangent to a circle having a diameter less than a width of the lumen.

• in communication with the lumen, a slot formed through the exterior and interior surfaces of the tubular enclosure and having a first elongate sidewall having a first height and a second elongate sidewall having a second height less than the first height wherein the second sidewall projects into the lumen to form a rib within the lumen;
• a cap surrounding and closing the open first end of the tubular enclosure;
• configured for insertion into a lumen of a paint roller cover from a first end, a first rotor rotatably coupled with the cap through a first axle and having a length extending from a first end plate to a second end plate;

• rotatably coupled with the base through a second axle, a second rotor configured for insertion into a lumen of a paint roller cover from a second end and having a length extending from a first end plate to a second end plate;
• and
• wherein the slot and the rib are configured to cooperate to direct a fluid stream into the lumen so that the fluid stream rotates a roller cover provided to the tubular enclosure lumen.
