Tips for Cleaning Paint Brushes
First, wipe off the excess paint in the paintbrush with softener, then add 4 litres of water and half of the warm water fabric softener. Wait a few seconds, and you will see the paint start to come off. Shake off the excess paint and allow it to dry correctly.
Second is the use of vinegar. Soak the paint brushes in vinegar for 1 hour and check if they are softened. If not, continue soaking for an hour. Put the paintbrush into the pot, put in the old vinegar, vinegar completely covers the bristles, and wait for the light vinegar to boil. You need to put the brush to cook for a few minutes. Then remove the brush and leave it to cool. Then, use a comb to work on the paintbrush’s bristles and repeat until the paint comes off. Finally, rinse with water until clean.
