Abstract:

An assembly that can allow easier and more effective cleaning of cosmetic brushes is provided. Washing of brushes is performed within a cleaning chamber using rotation of a holder of cosmetic brushes, with brushes coming into a contact with semi-rigid filament that facilitate removal of dirt and a washing medium during the rotation. The washing medium is pumped into the cleaning chamber from one chamber of a reservoir, and is pumped after being used from the cleaning chamber into a different chamber of the reservoir. The base of the assembly includes components that allow controlling the operations of the assembly, either manually or using one or more preprogrammed routines. An additional compartment is provided for storing cosmetic brushes and washing accessories, such as soap bottles.
