Paintbrush Cleaning

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
Cleaning paintbrushes is a messy job, but someone's got to do it. First wipe off as much excess as you can. If you're using latex paint, work the bristles in warm soapy water. For oil-based paint, first clean brushes in a glass or metal container in an inch of solvent, then use warm soapy water. Smooth clean bristles with an old comb.
