No time for cleaning paint brushes
Even the best of us are so tired or it is so late at the
end of a decorating session to clean up the brushes that
we just leave them sit and they dry out, not to be used
again - but no more!
Try this, secure the brush in a plastic bag sealing with a
rubber band and then store in the freezer overnight.
Defrost and clean at you leisure so you don't have to buy
new brushes!
Or
When taking a short break from painting, instead of
cleaning brush each time, wrap in cling film or aluminum
foil until you need it. (Not for long periods) You can do
this for an hour or two while you run to the store or
while dinner is being taken care of!
To clean paint brushes that are about dry, use a bit of
gasoline and then rinse out the paint brush with warm
soapy water. Let it dry and you don't have to throw it
away.
Keep a coffee can of paint thinner handy so you can drop
your paint brushes in, put a lid on it and not have to
worry about your paint brush getting too hard to use! |
