Hi Matthew,

Somewhere on this forum is a thread about safe brush cleaning. I believe Marvin Mattleson suggested using baby oil, and baby shampoo to clean brushes. I've been doing this since I started painting and I haven't lost a brush yet. Just swish them around in the baby oil, wipe them on a paper towel, then lather up with baby shampoo. If you want to really be nice to them, use some conditioner (hair) after. Then rinse them out before you paint with them. It also smells much nicer.

Jean
