A device for cleaning paint brushes or the like comprises a container (1) for a cleaning fluid and a plurality of wiping elements (2) projecting upwardly substantially from the bottom of the container. Each wiping element of at least a part of the wiping elements has one or more scraping edges along at least a part of its length, said scraping edges being adapted to cooperate with the paint brush to be cleaned. This is for example obtained in that each wiping element has a polygonal, preferably rectangular cross section at its end adjacent the bottom and tapers from the bottom. Thereby these wiping elements have sharp edges operating as scraping edges when the paint brush to be cleaned is moved along the wiping elements, so that an excellent cleaning action is obtained. The device can be part of an assembly which further comprises a refuse container and a cover for closing the refuse container. This refuse container with corresponding cover can be used for removing the used cleaning fluid with paint rests and can be offered closed as chemical waist to the cleaning service.
