A roller cover washer is provided, including a hollow pipe handle connected by a swivel-type adaptor to a water supply. The handle terminates in a water outlet end including a threaded end coupled to a T-connector and having pipe extensions perpendicular to the handle and capped at their ends. The water outlet end is covered by a cylindrical housing partly closed at each end by semicircular splash shields. Each pipe extension includes a plurality of apertures adapted to direct a fanned spray of water at an angle onto the roller's circumference. A roller cover on a roller assembly can be inserted into the housing pipe through either of the openings at the ends. When in use, the roller spins rapidly as paint is diluted and forced from the cover both by the water spray and by the centrifugal force induced from the spinning roller. Paint and water are ejected from the cover and drain into the housing and out the open ends of the housing.
