Cleaning Paint Brushes

Properly cleaning your paint brushes can extend their life and ensure a smooth application for your next project. Here’s how to do it:

For Water-Based Paints

Rinse brushes under warm water, using your fingers to remove excess paint. Follow up with soap and water, rinsing until the water runs clear.

For Oil-Based Paints

Use mineral spirits or paint thinner to clean brushes. Swirl the brush in the solvent, then wash with soap and water to remove any residue.

Clean brushes are essential for maintaining quality in your painting projects.
