paint brush is an investment. You can ensure the life of your brush
by cleaning them thoroughly and properly at the end of each painting session.
Latex, oil and stains can cause brushes to stiffen up if not cleaned properly right
after you are done painting.
1. Rinse the brush in turpentine or mineral spirits if you’ve been using oil or alkyd
based paints or lukewarm water if you’ve been using a water or latex based
paint.
2. Wash gently using mild soap and warm water
3. Rinse and repeat until there is no trace of color left.
4. Rinse again in clean, lukewarm water to remove any traces of soap.
5. Shake off water.
6. Use your fingers to gently shape the brush head into its correct shape.
NOTE: Using a nylon comb designed for paint brushes will help place filaments
in the correct position.
7. Leave brush to dry at room temperature. Do not rest on its head as it will dry
misshapen. Instead, stand on the back of the handle or hang to dry using the
hole in the handle.
