A shed hair collection device includes a substantially planar mat and a gel pad. The mat has multiple substantially cylindrical protuberances with multiple nubs extending therefrom. A gel pad has multiple apertures attached to the mat such that each of the protuberances extends through one of the apertures. A shed hair collection device includes a hairbrush and a gel screen removably attached thereto. The hairbrush has a head with bristles and a handle. The gel screen has multiple apertures encircling the bristles. A shed hair collection device includes a silicone gel pad with multiple apertures and at least one loop formed at the perimeter. The silicone gel pad installs on a hairbrush head with bristles extending through the apertures.

A toilet brush system includes a toilet brush cleaner for cleaning a toilet brush of the type having an elongated handle with a proximal end and a distal end terminating in a brush head having a plurality of projecting brush bristles. The toilet brush cleaner comprises an elongated handle with a proximal end and a distal end that terminates in an open-ended sleeve sized to accommodate the distal end of the brush therein. The sleeve has a plurality of resilient, inwardly-projecting radial nubs, preferably made from an elastomeric material. In use, with the user holding the handle of the brush cleaner in one hand and the handle of the toilet brush in another hand, the user can repeatedly insert and withdraw the brush from the open sleeve, preferably while rotating the brush and within a flow of water in a toilet, to clean the brush head with the nubs.

A paintbrush cleaning apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a vessel that is configured to contain a quantity of a paint solvent within an interior cavity of the vessel. A brush suspension bar is attached to an interior sidewall of the vessel and has a plurality of brush suspension points disposed in a spaced apart relation to suspend a brush end of the paintbrush in the solvent, while maintaining a handle end of the brush in a dry condition above the solvent. The brush suspension points allow the brush to be immersed in the solvent to prevent drying of the paint until the brush can be cleaned. Magnetic retainers are provided to hold or capture fasteners and paint sprayer components.
