Default Clean paintbrush with cement?

I made a surprising discovery yesterday. So puzzle time...

Can you clean a paintbrush that is saturated with paint & set into a
solid lump using just sand & cement?

You mean can you use abrasives to clean fibres? Why not?

Thats the one. But I would never have guessed how well it would work.
I had 200' of concrete channel to clear out, and used the nearest
thing to hand - a paint brush set solid. By the time I was finished it
looked like new, was most surprised.
