Paint roller sleeve storage container

A storage container for paint roller cover, comprising:

• (a) a flexible, resilient tubular housing for removably storing the cover there within;
• (b) the tubular housing including a centrally disposed chamber and a sealed end which defines a reservoir for holding excess paint;
• distal from the sealed end, the housing terminating in an enlarged funnel-like opening for facilitating insertion of the sleeve into the chamber;
• and
• (c) a set of flutes on at least two opposing sides of an interior surface of said cylinder for stabilizing a roller cover in place from rattling inside of said housing and for holding said roller cover in place when extracting a roller frame from said roller cover, each set of flutes includes two exterior flutes and three interior flutes that are located between said two exterior flutes, said exterior and interior flutes being located on an interior surface of the tubular housing, said interior flutes include a middle flute that is set back a distance from said other interior flutes so that when said exterior surface of said container is pressed inward said middle interior flute grips into a paint roller sleeve housed within said container and the other two interior flutes bend outward around a nap of said roller cover to better hold said roller cover in place when a roller frame is being extracted from said roller cover.
