ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for cleaning paint brushes whose bristles have, from use, developed liquefied accumulations thereon of an oil base paint. A plurality of transparent vessels, each containing the same liquid solvent, are supported in a first predetermined serial relationship such that a paint brush with accumulations of paint thereon can be immersed in sequence in the solvent contained in each of the vessels. A towel dispenser provides toweling for wiping the paint brush to mechanically remove the accumulations of paint thereon before and after immersion of the paint brush into the solvent contained in each of the vessels. Covers are removably attached to each of the vessels for selectively sealing the solvent from the atmosphere. Indicia may be applied to the covers or otherwise associated with the vessels. When the liquid solvent in the first one of the vessels has become substantially contaminated with paint residue from brushes which have previously been cleaned, the remaining vessels are advanced with each successor vessel assuming the former position of a preceding vessel, and a vessel containing fresh solvent is placed in the position of the vessel which was formerly last such that the vessels thereby assume a second predetermined serial relationship.
