brush cleaner
Paint tool restorer
Brush cleaner is a solvent or solution used to remove paint, makeup, or other residue from brushes.
Artists use brush cleaner to dissolve dried acrylic or oil paint from bristles: I soak my brushes in brush cleaner after every session.
Makeup brush cleaners are gentler formulations designed for cosmetic tools.
The term also covers devices that clean brushes mechanically.
