🎨 DIY Tip: Proper Way to Clean Brushes for Latex & Waterborne Paints

🪣 1. Rinse ImmediatelyDon’t let paint dry on the bristles. Rinse the brush under warm running water right after use, keeping the bristles pointed down so paint doesn’t run into the ferrule (metal band).

🧼 2. Use Mild SoapWork a small amount of dish soap or brush cleaner into the bristles with your fingers or a brush comb. Gently massage to remove all paint residue.

💧 3. Rinse ThoroughlyRinse until the water runs completely clear. You don’t want leftover paint drying deep in the bristles.

✋ 4. Reshape & Dry ProperlyShake off excess water, reshape the bristles, and hang or lay the brush flat to dry. Never store it upright when wet—it can cause the bristles to bend or loosen.

🧠 Pro Tip:Once fully dry, wrap the brush in its original sleeve or paper towel to keep its shape for next time.
