Abstract
A paintbrush cleaning apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a vessel that is configured to contain a quantity of a paint solvent within an interior cavity of the vessel. A brush suspension bar is attached to an interior sidewall of the vessel and has a plurality of brush suspension points disposed in a spaced apart relation to suspend a brush end of the paintbrush in the solvent, while maintaining a handle end of the brush in a dry condition above the solvent. The brush suspension points allow the brush to be immersed in the solvent to prevent drying of the paint until the brush can be cleaned. Magnetic retainers are provided to hold or capture fasteners and paint sprayer components.
