A lint roller assembly is disclosed for rotatably supporting a tubular and cylindrical adhesive lint remover roller. The assembly includes a pair of elongated housing parts which are substantially identical to each other. Each housing part includes an elongated handle section and a semi-cylindrical lint roller support section longitudinally adjacent the handle section. The lint roller support section has an outer diameter less than the diameter of the adhesive roller. The housing parts are secured together in a facing relationship by registering pins and sockets formed on the housing parts. In doing so, the lint roller support sections form a cylindrical lint roller support for the adhesive roller while the handle sections abut against each other to form a handle.
