Cleaning Your Brushes

When using your brushes, NEVER walk away and leave paint in the brush. It’s a good habit to rinse a brush before you lay it down, even if only for a moment.

Brush Care

• Do not reuse the plastic tube used on new brushes; this may bend the bristles beyond repair.
• Never use a brush to mix large amounts of color.
• If the bristles fray, dip them in a cup of hot water for 30 seconds, reshape them, and allow them to dry.
• Protect the brushes when you are traveling by rolling them up in a towel or using a brush carrier.
