HOW TO CLEAN THE BRUSH ACRYLIC BRUSH Must ensure to clean the Acrylic brushes in-between each use; not doing so will allow the Acrylic paint to harden the bristles or fiber and bond them together. Must not let the Acrylic paint dry on your brush as this is really difficult to get out. Grab a rag or kitchen towel and wipe away any excess paint from your brush to begin with; this will make the washing process faster and easier. OIL BRUSH Start with wiping your brushes on a rag or paper towel. You should then wash them thoroughly with a good soap. (You can use olive oil soap for example). To clean them thoroughly you can use a dish soap. Don't endorse the use of mineral spirits or solvents. They are a known brush killer. Oil cleans oil, so safflower, rapeseed & linseed oils should work too.
