The washing brush is provided with a brush head and a handle line which can assembly and disassemble the brush head freely at the front end. The device is provided with a nozzle which can be assembled and disassembled freely opposite to a connection port of the pipeline of the endoscope and is provided with a flow path. In the device, a brush head containing chamber of a brush containing unit is communicated with the flow path of the nozzle. Furthermore, a handle line containing unit is communicated with a brush head containing chamber. The handle line is sent out to the pipeline of the endoscope from the handle line containing chamber, and pulled back to the handle line containing chamber from the pipeline. When the sending out and the pulling back are carried out, a handle line clamping part at the front end of the handle line which is sent out is clamped at a brush head clamping part on the brush head in the brush head containing chamber. The handle line clamping part of the handle line which is pulled back is released from the brush head clamping part in the brush head containing chamber. Therefore, the brush head which is contained in the brush head containing chamber carries out advance and retreat by the advance and the retreat of the handle line.
