Brush Care

Cleaning Brushes

  • It is common to get paint up to the ferrule of the brush. However, the key to long lasting brushes is to remove all paint from the brush when painting is finished.
  • Load the brush two-thirds full. To pick up paint, dip each corner gently into each color.
  • Do not keep working in the paint every time you pick up paint or you will get too much paint inside the brush.
  • Dry brushes flat on a surface or hanging bristles down to avoid water pooling in the ferrule.
  • Fill the basin with plenty of water.
