A paint roller cover cleaner for cleaning a paint roller cover. The paint roller cover cleaner has one or more nozzles that spray the cover and that may each produce a fan-shaped jet in a plane that is at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the roller cover. The paint roller cover cleaner may also have a clamp for clamping a handle of the paint roller, another nozzle for cleaning an enclosure of the paint roller cover cleaner, a lid for the enclosure that drips within the mouth of the enclosure and does not move laterally across the roller cover to open. A system including a paint roller cover cleaner and a fluid supply that can contain the paint roller cover cleaner is also provided.

An implement scraper provides a scraper bar for scraping debris into a bucket, such as a five-gallon bucket, and is detachably attachable to the bucket by a bucket coupler. The bucket coupler is configured with a latch that rotates to secure the implement scraper to the rim of the bucket. The latch may be pivotably coupled between a latch pivot aperture. A rim extension is configured to extend along a rim of the bucket and the scraper bar is coupled to the rim extension and may extend across an extension angle of the bucket. A debris aperture is formed between the scraper bar and the rim extension to allow debris to fall therethrough into the bucket. A magnetic coupler is configured to retain a metallic implement to the implement scraper by one or more magnets.

A wrapper for a paint brush is provided which is intended for use after the brush has been used. In most instances the brush has been cleaned with water or other solvents and then placed in the paint brush wrapper so that the bristles portion of the paint brush are covered.
