A combination paint roller ( 20 ) and paint roller cleaner ( 10 ) for extracting excess paint off of a paint roller sleeve. The paint roller cleaner includes a handgrip ( 11 ), an elongated rod ( 12 ), and a sleeve engaging portion defined by a generally circular loop ( 13 ) defining an internal opening. The paint roller includes a handle ( 21 ), a roller frame ( 22 ), and a roller sleeve ( 23 ). The roller sleeve has a tubular, cylindrical hollow core ( 24 ), having a select external diameter, surrounded by a tubular, cylindrical, resilient, paint absorbing matt ( 25 ) having a select external diameter. The internal diameter of the loop is larger than the external diameter of the roller core but smaller than the external diameter of the roller matt.
