Clean or throw away?

What happens here

The video demonstrates the process of cleaning a paint brush. The person holds a paint brush that is heavily soiled with white, likely water-based, paint. A small wire brush is used alongside it. The paint brush is repeatedly dipped into a white 5-gallon bucket containing a clear liquid, presumed to be water. While submerged or partially submerged in the water, the wire brush is used to vigorously scrub the bristles of the paint brush. This action helps to loosen and remove the paint particles from the bristles, allowing them to rinse away in the water. The process is continued until the paint brush appears clean.

Goal: Remove paint from the bristles of a paint brush
