A cosmetic brush cleaning apparatus and processes for streamlining cleaning, drying, and/or storing cosmetic brushes are described. The cosmetic brush cleaning apparatus may include elevated elements to aid in cleaning and drawing out make-up, dirt, debris, etc., in the fibrous heads of cosmetic brushes. The cosmetic brush cleaning apparatus may include draining mechanisms for removing excess water resulting from the cleaning process. The cosmetic brush cleaning apparatus may include an elevated wall that follows a contour of the cosmetic brush cleaning apparatus for retaining water within the elevated wall of the cosmetic cleaning apparatus and/or securing cosmetic brushes for drying and storing cosmetic brushes. The cosmetic brush cleaning apparatus may include one or more additional drying elements for drying and/or storing the cosmetic brushes. The cosmetic brush cleaning system enables users to deep clean cosmetic brushes efficiently and conveniently dry and/or store the cosmetic brushes.

A multifunctional bottle washing brush includes a sponge, a plurality of bristles, a handle, an extension stem, an ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer light, and actuatable soap-dispensing mechanism, and a motor. The sponge, the plurality of bristles, the extension stem, and the UV sterilizer light complete an interchangeable brush that removably and terminally mounted to the handle through a rotor of the motor. The actuatable soap-dispensing mechanism that is integrated into the handle is in fluid communication with the sponge to supply a flow of soap while the interchangeable brush is rotatably operated through the motor via a power switch. Resultantly, the multifunctional bottle washing brush is able to efficiently clean dishes while the UV sterilizer light disinfects the sponge and the plurality of bristles.

The present technology relates to an excess mascara and clump removal and cleaning tool. The tool may include several apertures of various sizes that allow a user to cleaning their mascara brush and/or remove clumps of mascara from the brush and/or the tip of the brush prior to mascara application. The excess clumps of mascara may be stored within the interior of the tool. The tool may be opened for discarding of the excess mascara. The tool may be locked to prevent the excess mascara from falling out of the tool.

A cosmetic brush cleaning pad for efficiently maintaining the cleanliness of makeup brushes while controlling microbial growth in the fiber bundle. The cosmetic brush cleaning pad generally includes a base housing and an upper platform adapted to be removably secured over the base housing. A cleaning member which is generally flexible woven fabric may be removably wrapped around the upper platform prior to it being secured to the base housing. The base housing may include an optional lid which is hingedly secured thereto and includes an access opening for allowing access to the cleaning member when the lid is closed. By assembling the present invention and dragging a cosmetic brush thereacross, the cleaning brush may be cleaned of cosmetics for further use.

A toothbrush includes a brush head having a capsule receiving zone sized to receive a dentrifice capsule. A plurality angled bristles may retain the capsule in such zone. Loading of such toothbrush with a capsule may be performed with a dispenser including a toothbrush manipulation element adapted to move a retention structure associated with the brush head, and dispensation element adapted to deliver the capsule into the receiving zone. Such dispenser may include a desiccant material disposed to receive moisture from a capsule storage container. A dispenser may further include a plurality of toothbrush insertion apertures each adapted to receive a portion of a different toothbrush, so as to enable multiple users each having different toothbrushes to use the same dispenser without requiring contact between multiple brushes and single capsule interface surface of the dispenser.

In one example, we describe a method and system for toothbrush sterilization and/or storage with better quality in terms of hygiene and convenience, where the brush head and the shaft that enter the user's mouth are never contacted by the chamber. Also, below the brush head and shaft, there is no chamber. If any drops of water were to fall off the brush head, they would fall all the way through the chamber and reside on the counter on which the chamber rests, which can be removed or cleaned easily later. In one example, we use a UV-C lamp as our sterilization technique. This selection has many advantages over the other sterilizations techniques. In one example, we use a single lamp, but that lamp is in a ring configuration (otherwise known as annular, torus, or donut), with good coverage of the toothbrush, from all angles.

An apparatus for washing and sanitizing elongate rotary brushes used for cleaning fruit, produce, and other food products includes a cylindrical housing (14), within which is installed a carrier assembly (16) for supporting the rotary brushes (12) to revolve around the interior of the housing and also to simultaneously spin the rotary brushes about their individual longitudinal axis (18). The interior of the housing is divided into separate zones for carrying out the steps of the cleaning and sanitation process. Effluent from the cleaning process is collected in a tank (30) located at the bottom of the housing. The brushes are conveniently loaded onto and removed from the apparatus (10) through a side door opening (52) provided in the housing.
