Abstract

A lint/pet hair roller assembly includes a body supporting a tubular adhesive lint remover roller and/or a stationary directional lint brush fabric. The assembly includes a handle section and a roller support section. The support section has an outer diameter less than the diameter of the adhesive lint roll or a directional fabric wrapped about the support section. The elongated handle section receives a separate rubber cushion and an optional decorative top including a hanger. Alternately, an arm projects from the body and receives an additional cleaning element. Alternately, a dispenser is carried on the handle for dispensing fluid from a storage chamber carried in the handle. Alternately, a squeegee is alternately carried in the support.
