I have no solvent cup on my palette while I'm painting nor any open jars to clean the paint off of my brushes. I clean dirty brushes at the end of the day with Safflower Oil which I get from Utrecht, followed by Jack's Linseed Oil soap. I also use a little Gamsol to take the paint off of my palette at days end.

Solvents are dangerous and not necessary.
Cool hint.

I use odorless mineral spirits to clean my brushes, but I'm gonna give it a try.
