Sandy...you just reminded me of something....
I leave my brushes upright in containers so I can see them. However, I never dip a dry brush in paint. I always swish them in thinner (partly to get rid of dust) and wipe them off before I begin to paint.
I use a "Silicoil" jar. Any kind of container that will hold thinner is better if you have some kind of screened barrier in it. When you dip your brush, the dust and paint particles will sink to the bottom and remain there forever. The "barrier" prevents the sediment from re-entering your brush.
