Abstract: A brush is combined with a flexible netting that is placed over the brush bristles and pulled downward so that the netting is at the base of the bristles. The netting is flexible so that no guide is needed to place the netting at the base of the bristles. The netting has an outer periphery of elastic material so that the edge of the netting will be drawn around the back surface of the brush, holding the netting in place. The netting may have an opening through which the brush handle is extended, or securing straps may be used to loop around the back of the handle to help secure the netting in place. The straps may be secured together with, for example, snaps, a buckle, or a hook and loop fastener. The netting is removed to clean the brush and then is placed back on the brush to accumulate debris until the brush needs cleaning again. Replacement netting is inexpensive and may be used if a net becomes torn or unusable.
