BruKon will store and clean your paint brushes in its own individual containers ready for use day to day, or for longer term storage. BruKon has what it takes to lighten your load when it comes to brush maintenance. A handy “Trade 6-Pack” will service you for years ahead keeping your brush tools neat, tidy & safely stored. 

The BruKon brush container is designed to withstand harsh paint cleaning solutions and chemicals such as mineral turps, ethanol / white spirits, citrus based cleaners, solvents, thinners, oils and much more.

The BruKon brush container is unique amongst paint brush cleaning and storage products and its the best of the breed amongst paint brush maintenance products. It is modestly priced, reusable and straightforward to use. When compared to the more expensive brush cleaning products that have more recently come onto the market (emerging market and governmental concerns about environmental consideration for sustainability is of great importance. In addition, the BruKon brush container does not require any ad-on expense of prescribed solvents or chemical substances to create extra fumes to keep a moist brush as is the case with some of the common brush cleaning  products available today. By simply using the BruKon brush container and the natural cleaning and storage method is a clear and easily a win win situation because it was created to benefit all painters DIY, trades. handy-people, artists and our mother Earth.

When storing brushes overnight, or for short periods, DIY painters sometimes use the technique of wrapping the brushes in cling film or put them in a plastic shopping bag that has been knotted closed. While this can slow the paint drying process down it does not prevent paint from drying over time and impacting on the life of your paintbrushes. Nor do these techniques provide any sort of the cleaning so the BruKon method of  keeping the bristles wet in a liquid. The BruKon brush container prevents paint from drying, and by simply moving the container back and forward with the brush inserted paint particles are liberated out of the bristles to keep your brushes in a healthier condition. Most importantly, these plastic film based storage ideas are harder on the environment than the BruKon brush container as they involve consuming and disposing of paint covered plastic with each storage session.

This is one of those “how long is a piece of string” questions. Different combinations of brushes and cleaning fluids will cause the brushes to have different failure modes, and in turn storage lives. For example, a cheap steel collared brush suspended in water will not keep as long as a good quality stainless steel collared brush suspended in mineral turps. Similarly, different atmospheric conditions affect the rate of cleaning fluid evaporation and cheap and nasty paint brushes will rust in water. Overall the factors that determine how long you can keep a brush in a BruKon brush container are the quality of your brushes, the material they are made from, the type of cleaning fluid, as well as atmospheric temperature sunlight and humidity. In practice, the BruKon brush container has been developed to satisfy brush storage of all kinds. Short term and long term storage needs for all professionals, artists and consumer applications. For a DIY person we always recommend a proper clean up of your brushes when finished painting and for them to dry out nicely, if you don’t have any intentions to use them again.

This is also a “how long is a piece of string” question. The clear plastic base of the container is UV and chemical stabilized and the rubber cap is similarly resistant to sun and chemical damage. As to the life of containers in years, we can meaningfully say that customers have reported that they are still using their BruKon brush containers 10- 12 years after purchasing them. The main factors that affect our container life are the amount of use and maintenance rather than material limitations; if they are looked after, they will last a long time. The BruKon brush container has been developed to satisfy all of the brush storage and cleaning needs of most sizes for both professionals and consumers.

The synthetic rubber cap has been specifically designed to resist mineral turps and most other solvents as well, including citrus based paint cleaners, spirits and the like. 

In the presence of mineral turps a normal rubber would swell , become spongy and when the rubber is allowed to dry out, it loses its elasticity and becomes crumbly. In effect it loses its integrity altogether. 

BUT in contrast —the BruKon brush container’s lid and Collar-Washers are made from a specially developed synthetic rubber that is impervious to mineral turps and most harsher solvents as well.

You can effectively use the same BruKon brush container for paints that have a similar colour range (assuming the paints in question are either oil based or acrylic and using the correct cleaning substance). For example, brushes used to paint different shades of red can be effectively cleaned in the same container so if you are going to be painting a shade of red with that brush again that would be fine. Putting brushes used to paint contrasting colours into the same container is not recommended but will also work but not as well. For example, we don’t recommend using the same container for brushes that are being used for black paints and white paints wont work at well.

If a brush handle is adequately lubricated with oil before a Collar-Washer is slipped on it, then the inner ring will not tear. You can also soften a Collar-Washer in hot soapy water for bigger brush handles before slipping it on. For any further details on collar-washers pleas see the CollarWashers product description page.

Collar-Washers are designed to stay on the brush handle once fitted. For a number of reasons they can become mechanically damaged during the long term course of painting and require replacement.  

The BruKon brush container is designed so that an individual container will stand upright by itself. In this configuration they can however be knocked over. For more stability one can snap 2 togetheror more containers which will be very stable in comparison and not likely to get knocked over.

Yes, it surely can help out with paint on weed killer substances or plant food can be directly applied onto the leaves to spruce them up, or fix them up to be healthier with targeted reach. Just about anything you want that can use a paint brush to apply it on to a surface with, and using a BruKon paint Brush Container your substance applications can be easily measurable and the substance with the used brush inside can be safely stored away neatly.

  • Slide a Collar-Washer onto a the well lubricated brush handle. This will help keep evaporation from the container to a minimum . It will also offer protection to the handle and your hands from paint drips when working on overhead jobs.
  • Ensure there is enough cleaning fluids in the container so that it just reaches the bristle tips when the brush is fitted into the lid. We recommend using the minimal amount solvents or cleaning fluid to let the wicking action of the bristles with a shake  keep the brush wet  while cleaning.
  • Place the brush in your BruKon container and close the lid.
  • When the brush is in and the lid closed you simply shake the container backwards and forwards to clean your brush or dunk it around a bit. Then leave the brush in the container raised up off its bristles and let the paint from it fall out from the brush and settle to the bottom with the brush inside.  There is no need to remove your brush from the container, if you leave the Brukon and standing for long enough the turps, water or other contained solvent will form a clear re-usable top layer and the paint sludge will settle at the bottom. Your brush can stay in the container until you need it next.
  • If you eventually want to save/reuse the clear cleaning fluid in the container simply filter it out once the paint particles settle. If you also then don’t need to keep brushes in the container you can let the sludge dry until it flakes and becomes powdery safe. This stable dry material can then be thrown out of the container and discarded safely, the remaining leftovers can be wiped out or cleaned.

A cost effective way to purchase BruKon brush containers is in a carton of six trade 6-packs, 12 DIY 3-Packs or 36 singles packs . We call our one sized carton a “tower 36”. This may minimise the unit cost of postage and handling for your desired quantity. Alternatively you can test the best way to buy them for yourself in our cart checkout ( dependant on Country  destination ) . If this number of containers is more than your immediate needs you may like to collect together orders with friends and colleagues to make up a “tower 36” or more. For orders significantly larger  please contact us directly to discuss optimal shipping arrangements.

The range of BruKon products held by our stockists will vary towards the customers they supply. In general all stores will carry the Trade 6-packs, but other products they may not have, we can supply. We recommend that you contact your nearest store to confirm that they have stock of the BruKon products you are seeking before visiting.

In hot dry weather your brushes will dry out quickly, In particular, dry paint tends to form on the upper part of the bristles making painting sticky and unworkable. In these situations you can keep painting with brushes in good condition all the time when you rotate your brushes in 6-Pack of BruKon brush containers. When your brush starts to dry, simply put it in a BruKon brush container with some fluid and give it a shake. Having taken out the brush that was previously in the container for your immediate painting use. If the drying really fast in the summer heat rejuvenate them on rotation using BruKon for them to stay soft and usable all the time through the painting project, you can simply keep brushes and containers in reserve and always choose to use the one that’s been resting for the longest period. it work Wonders !

To improve the flow of enamel paint with a good quality natural bristle brushes, such as pure bore bristle, you can pre- condition them by soaking the new brushes in linseed oil before use (alternatively, if the bristles are not natural, you can use hair contioner ). The BruKon brush container is ideal for this. Simply place some linseed oil in a BruKon brush container, enough to cover the bristles, put the brush in the n in the lid, making sure the bristles are kept off the bottom of the container. Soak overnight for the bristles to become supple, making the brush ideal for high gloss enamel finishes.

The BruKon brush container can be used to store and clean artists pencil brushes too. Simply make as many as 18 additional holes where indicated on the elastomer lid as needed. Drill them or you can melt a hole with a large sized hot nail.

Using a Second Collar-Washer on the brush handle. When fitting a brush into container lid it makes a better seal between the brush handle and the lid.  Prevents fluid from leaking past the handle when the lid is fitted and the container shaken back and forward. It also reduces the rate at which fluid evaporates from the container when storing brushes for longer periods. To further reduce the rate of evaporation in these cases one can also fit a second Collar-Washer to the brush handle so that it sits on top of the container lid when the brush is suspended; that way there is a Collar-Washer above and below the container lid. Make sure that both Collar-Washers are firmly against the container lid.

The all-new and improved BruKon Containers 2025 set a new benchmark in durability, versatility, and performance. We’ve taken our trusted product to the next level by upgrading to high-grade polypropylene (P/P) for the container material. This strategic choice was made with both functionality and user experience in mind. The high-grade P/P material not only enhances the container’s strength and resistance to a vast range of solvents and substances but also retains a clear, see-through quality that allows you to easily monitor the contents at a glance.

This upgrade makes BruKon an indispensable tool across a wide variety of industries and applications.

Thank you for your question! While BruKon is not specifically designed to hold paint, it excels as a specialized cleaning and storage solution for paintbrushes. Its primary and original purpose is to maintain the quality and longevity of your paintbrushes through an innovative “wet brush system” that ensures optimal care and preservation.

One of the standout features of BruKon is its unique design, which elevates the brush off its bristles while it is submerged in the appropriate amount of cleaning solution or solvent. This elevation mechanism is a crucial aspect of maintaining brush integrity. By suspending the brush, BruKon prevents the bristles from bending, warping, or resting against the bottom of the container, which can lead to permanent deformation and reduced brush performance over time.

Instead of storing paint, BruKon’s true strength lies in its ability to keep brushes immersed in the correct cleaning fluid or solvent based on the type of paint being used. Whether dealing with water-based, oil-based, acrylic, or other specialty paints, the system allows for precise and effective cleaning. The elevated position combined with the right solvent ensures that paint residue is gently dissolved without harsh scrubbing or damage to the bristles.

Additionally, the high-grade polypropylene (P/P) material of the container itself is resistant to a broad range of cleaning agents, ensuring that the container remains durable and reliable through repeated use. The transparent nature of the container also allows you to see the brush and monitor the cleaning process easily.

The BruKon system offers a mess-free and organized approach to brush maintenance, keeping your workspace tidy while preserving your brushes in top condition. It is an ideal solution for both professional painters and DIY enthusiasts who want to extend the life of their brushes and achieve consistently great results with every project.
