ABSTRACT:
The disclosed invention is an improved means of cleaning paint brushes and paint rollers. The device consists of a base with at least two pliable longitudinal extensions which are held together by a series of ring segments. This combination of extensions and ring segments define a cavity that is capable of receiving and releasably securing the handle of a paint brush. The base is capable of receiving a paint roller, the roller fitting over the longitudinal extensions. An attachment rod extends from the base, opposite to the extensions. The attachment rod can be received by a drill chuck, or other rotary device and thereby rotated, including the brush received therein. As the brush rotates the flexible nature of the extensions allow the brush to orbit about the axis of rotation imparted by the drill. This allows rotation and translation of the brush so that no bristles of the brush are consistently in line with the center of rotation. Thus, all bristles move thereby generating a centrifugal force on the debris enabling a more expedient and thorough cleaning.
