Brush Cleaning Tips...

     We all know how fun cleaning brushes is, don't we?   Especially when you are dead-tired, and it's 11:00 at night...  Well, I've found something that makes it so much easier. (I used to use Dial soap, and rub the heck out of them, leaving them all splayed and frazzled)


     Step 1- Remove excess paint on paper towels


     Step 2- Into the Odorless mineral spirits, and another wipe on the towel.


     Step 3-  Fill half of a child play ball (rubbery and pliable, and about the size to fit in your hand- mine was from Walgreens) with Murphy's Oil Soap. 



     Step 4-  Rub each brush thoroughly in the soap, rinse ...


     Step 5-  If you are not painting for awhile, clean one more time in the Brush Cleaner and  rinse again, before storing !
