Cleaning Brushes

Posted on March 27, 2018 Posted in General .

Clean your brushes after each use.  I do not enjoy cleaning brushes (who does?) but I do love, love a nice brush in beautiful condition so I take the time, every time, to clean my brushes after I use them.  I do not roughly mush the bristles in the bottom of a jar or cup…I gently push the bristles around between my fingers, on the palm of my hand, on the bottom of the sink or on a metal mesh I keep in my sink–key word being GENTLY.  I do not recommend leaving a brush soaking in water or cleaner very long. All CeCe Caldwell’s Chalk + Clay Paints products are water based so none need any kind of mineral spirit or paint thinner and I personally do not recommend using anything stronger than dish soap and vinegar when cleaning any brush (and if you make a habit of cleaning your brushes after each use you shouldn’t ‘need’ anything heavier) .  Synthetic brushes do not need to be conditioned with oil soap and can be cleaned with just water or with dish soap and/or a bit of vinegar.
