A professional paint brush cleaner built for everyday work
Lavabrush helps painters spend less time at the sink and more time painting. Instead of continuously rinsing each brush under running water, the system cleans the bristles inside a compact container. Paint residue remains in the cleaning water, which can then be handled in accordance with local waste-water and paint-disposal guidance.
The mechanical cleaning action works through the bristles to remove water-based paint quickly and thoroughly. Because the system needs only a small volume of water, it is practical for job sites, workshops and other places where access to running water is limited.
How the Lavabrush paint brush cleaning system works
- Add 1.5 litres of water to the container.
- Fit the brush into Lavabrush.
- Turn the mechanism with a power tool (or the included hand crank).
- Remove the clean brush after around 30 seconds.
One 1.5-litre fill can clean 7–15 brushes, depending on brush size and the amount and type of paint remaining. See the full Lavabrush instructions or watch the paint brush cleaner demonstration.
Designed for professional painters
Frequent brush cleaning costs time and can use large amounts of water. Lavabrush is designed as a repeatable professional process: compact enough to carry between jobs, robust enough for regular use and fast enough to fit into the working day. Cleaner bristles also make it easier to maintain brushes and keep them in service for longer.
Lavabrush works with most common paint brushes, including many round brushes when used with the included round-brush tool. It is intended for water-based paint. For detailed compatibility, cleaning and maintenance questions, visit the paint brush cleaning FAQ.
