ABSTRACT:
An application brush cleaning apparatus which prevents the handle of an application brush from contacting a bristle cleaning solution. Provided are an elongated container, a hollow pier situatable within the container and a resilient support washer having a brush seat characterized by a center hole and a plurality of radial slits communicating therewith. The container is preferably composed of clear glass. The pier is any structure which defines a rest and a central hollow, as for example a coil spring or an apertured pedestal. The pier is placed into the container and then the container is filled with a bristle cleaning solution to no more than the level of the rest of the pier. The handle is thrust into the brush seat of the support washer until the ferrule is frictionally held thereat. The washer and application brush combination is placed into the container, bristles first, wherein the bristles pass into the central hollow of the pier and into the bristle cleaning solution. When the support washer is supported by the rest of the pier, the bristles are substantially fully submerged and none of the handle is submerged. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a caddy is provided for holding, in a removable and stable manner, the container, a bottle of bristle cleaning solution, a combined support washer and application brush, and an eye dropper for transferring bristle cleaning solution from the bottle to the container.
