ABSTRACT:
A method for removing paint or other foreign matter from the bristles of a brush involves the use of an open web of interengaged, continuous, crinkled, coarse filaments of a resilient thermoplastic polymeric material which are removably welded together at points of mutual contact. The bristles of the brush may be wetted and rubbed against the open web while in a prone position in order to remove the foreign matter therefrom. In instances where heavy build-up is present on the brush bristles, the brush bristles are rubbed against the open web while in a supine position so that the filaments of the web may reach along the entire surface of the bristles. This cleaning method enables the continuous reuse of the paintbrush without any deterioration of the brush bristles from the cleaning operation.
