Recycled Paint Brush Cleaning Station

Use a laundry bottle. Cut the handle at the top just before it curves to join the bottle. You should have a straight tube that connects to the bottle at the bottom of the handle. This is the holder for a brush that has been washed and needs to dry without bending or distorting the bristles. Cut off the main part of the container about half way down. This is the washing/soaking reservoir. Fill with hot water and a little detergent. Insert bristle end of brush and swish around, massage the bristles, maybe even comb them with a wide pronged brush cleaning tool. When clean, rinse with clean water and set handle in the opening to the cut off handle of the bottle and leave to dry.

Depending on the shape of the container, the top might be used as a funnel
(plug the hole where the handle was attached) or with the lid on it might be able to be used as a scoop.
