A device for use in thoroughly cleaning wet paint or varnish from a brush through the application of a cleaning solvent. The device includes a pump for pumping the solvent through a plurality of nozzles. The nozzles are adapted to be positioned between the bristles at the heel of a brush to be cleaned, with end portions of the nozzles in an opening between the bristles adjacent a divider wedge around which the bristles are fastened. Such positioning orients outlet openings adjacent the ends of the nozzles to direct solvent pumped through the nozzles transversely outwardly through the bristles to thoroughly clean the bristles at the heel of the brush.

A device adapted for applying solvent to clean a paint or varnish brush of the conventional type having an elongate divider wedge and a multiplicity of bristles attached around the sides of said divider wedge and projecting a generally uniform predetermined distance in the same direction from the divider wedge to define a brush tip, the thickness and length of the divider wedge causing an elongate opening adjacent the wedge between walls of the bristles projecting from opposite sides of the wedge, said device comprising: at least one nozzle comprising a tubular wall defining a central opening, having an open end, a closed terminal end opposite said open end, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced radial openings through said tubular wall communicating with said central opening and positioned closely adjacent said terminal end, said nozzle having a transverse thickness adjacent said terminal end adapted to afford insertion of the terminal end of said nozzle into the opening between the walls of bristles in a said brush; and means coupled to the open end of said nozzle adapted for passing a said solvent under pressure through the central opening and out through the radial outlet openings of the nozzle so that with the terminal end of said nozzle inserted in the opening between the walls of bristles of a said brush adjacent its divider wedge, solvent passing through the outlet openings of the nozzle will be directed transversely outwardly through the bristles of the brush adjacent its divider wedge to thoroughly clean the bristles.
