roller brush

Cylindrical painting tool

A roller brush is a cylindrical brush that rotates on an axis, used for applying paint evenly to walls and ceilings or for cleaning in vacuum cleaners and floor machines.

Paint rollers hold liquid in their fibrous covers and distribute it smoothly across surfaces: I'll use a roller brush for the ceiling and a regular brush for the trim.

In cleaning equipment, roller brushes agitate carpet fibers to loosen dirt.
