Wire Wash Brush and Cleaning Method

A method of removing paint from the bristles of a soiled paint brush comprising:

• providing a brush with a brush handle, a brush head, a hose connector on the brush handle, a valve with a fluid passageway integrated into the brush handle, a main passageway travelling laterally through the brush from the hose connector, though the brush handle, the valve fluid passageway, into the brush head, and terminating in the head of the brush;
• said brush having a plurality of wire type tufts extending downwardly from a bottom surface of the head;
• said brush having a plurality of micro passageways located in the brush head extending downwardly from the main passageway to the bottom surface of the head;
• said brush having nozzles located in the plurality of micro passageways;
• said valve having an actuator with variable positions integrated into the valve that enables a cross dimensional area of the valve fluid passageway to change from 0% open to 100% open;
• providing a water source which can be turned on and off, said water source being in the off position;
• connecting the water source to the hose connector on the brush handle with a hose;
• moving the actuator into a position where the valve fluid passageway to change is 0% open;
• turning the water source on;
• using the actuator, open the valve fluid passageway to a point between 0% open to 100% open so that water travels from the water source through the main passageway and ejects from the brush head through the nozzles;
• while water is ejecting through the brush head nozzles, run the plurality of wire type tufts through the bristles of a paint brush soiled with paint;
• once the paint has been removed from the bristles of the paint brush using the actuator to close the valve fluid passageway to 0% open.
