According to the present invention there is provided a cleaning apparatus for cleaning a paint roller and the like. The cleaning apparatus comprises a handle having an axial passage therethrough and a curved cleaning head, adjacent one end of the handle, having an annular passage in fluid communication with the axial passage of the handle. A plurality of spaced, radially inwardly extending nipples are positioned circumferentially along the inner surface of the curved cleaning head. Each of the nipples has an end face provided with a fluid outlet and a fluid passage extending from the fluid outlet to the annular passage of the curved cleaning head. Means for attaching the cleaning apparatus to a cleaning fluid supply are provided at the other end of the handle.
