Brush Care & Maintenance

To help maintain your hobby paintbrushes, clean them promptly after each painting session using a cleaner appropriate for the paint being applied.

For best results, consider keeping separate brushes for different painting media and applications, particularly when switching between acrylic paints and solvent-based products.
