AK Interactive Stainless Steel Paint Brush Cleaner (AK9569)

A brush-cleaning station that protects your bristles.

Why this cleaner

• Protects your brushes. The spiral holder suspends brushes in the liquid so the bristles never bend, splay or rest on the bottom — the fastest way to ruin a good sable.
• Strainer keeps grit off the tips. Loosened paint and pigment sink below the strainer, so you're not dragging old residue back through your bristles.
• Integrated zigzag scraper for shifting excess or dried paint quickly, without hacking at the ferrule.
• Two-part stainless steel build pulls apart for easy emptying and stands up to even harsh solvents — a buy-once tool.
• Works with anything — water for acrylics, White Spirit or thinner for oils, enamels, varnishes and inks.

About this tool

A durable stainless steel brush-cleaning bucket made from two detachable parts. The base holds your water, solvent or cleaner; the top section carries a brush holder, a strainer and a built-in scraper so cleaning stays deep and organised rather than a mess on the bench.

Swirl and gently tap the brush against the strainer and the paint drops away below it. For stubborn or dried paint, work the bristles over the zigzag scraper. When you're done, hang brushes on the spiral coil to soak or dry — even upside down — and empty the base with a quick pull-apart and rinse.

What you get

• Stainless steel base — fill with water, solvent or cleaner
• Removable top section — lifts off for emptying and rinsing
• Strainer — keeps settled residue away from your bristles
• Zigzag scraper — for excess and dried paint
• Spiral brush holder — suspends brushes to soak or dry without deforming

Cleaning liquid is not included — use your own water, White Spirit, thinner or brush cleaner.

How to use it

1. Fill the base with the right liquid for your paint — water for acrylics, White Spirit or thinner for oils and enamels.
2. Swirl and tap the brush gently against the strainer. Residue sinks below it, keeping the working liquid cleaner for longer.
3. Use the scraper for stubborn or dried paint, working from the ferrule out to the tip.
4. Hang to soak or dry on the spiral coil — upside down is fine, and the bristles stay off the bottom.
5. Tip: follow up with a proper brush soap for a deep clean, and dispose of used solvent responsibly.

Worth knowing

• Cleaning liquid isn't included — this is the vessel, and you add your own water, solvent or cleaner.
• It rinses your brushes clean but doesn't condition them. For your best sable brushes, finish with a dedicated brush soap.
• Compact at 20 × 15 × 15 cm — a neat desktop footprint rather than a large studio pot.
