  • Method of storing brush used in substrate surface treatment and container for storing such brush
    Patent number: 6012576
    Abstract: A brush used for scrubbing is stored in a container, when not being used, in a wet state. The brush to be stored may be dipped in a bactericidal liquid which may be filled in a container with a removable top. The container is constructed such that the sponge or fibrous member of the brush is supported, so as not to experience any deforming stress. Before storage, the brush and the container may be subjected to bactericidal heating. Materials of the container and top are selected taking into account the chemical stability of the materials with respect to the liquid used, and the heat resistance of the material with respect to bactericidal heating.
