    I am so glad I watched more than one video to clean my brushes! The last one I washed said use vinegar and I thought.....ERMAGERSH! WOULDN'T THAT SMELL BAD? Thanks so much!

      I know your comment is old but i wanna point out: Vinegar vanishes in air. If you put a class of vinegar on your balcony, you can drink it after a few hours. It basically becomes tap water. So also the smell vanishes.😊

      Not exactly, it’s “95% methylated spirit, 2.5% castor oil, 2% diethyl phthalate, and 0.5% methyl salicylate” which is comparable to our 70% isopropyl alcohol but not exactly it

      I have another idea..!!if you guys have gluegun ur rite in ur place..u need a exam pad and a glue gun...just do thick designs like acupuncture or like waves on the exam pad and let it dry...after that when u want to clean ur brushes jast wet ur exam pad and ur brush,add a shower gel or shampoo on the exam pad and rub ur brushes on it..and wash ur brush in water..that's it😊😊

  • @sinsitysinderella790
    @sinsitysinderella790 2 роки тому +3

    I've always cleaned my brushes the same way with the soap and swirling it around on my hand. I use cheap baby shampoo from the dollar store or amazon, but I've never heard of using olive oil, I'll definitely try that. The folded towel is a really good idea too, I always struggled with finding a way to lay them at a slant to keep the water out of the ferrule. I bought an artist tool from amazon that holds them upside down, but the towel thing is free! Japonesque makes a brush cleaning spray that I love, because you can use it and then immediately use the brush, so it's great for quick cleans. Thanks for the video!

    You can spot clean your brushes with baby wipes as well. They are oil based and gentle and will get the job done!

    When I clean my brushes I take hair ties and I use a bar and hang the downwards to dry

    Thanks! Very helpful. Just saw a video about using vinegar. This makes a lot more sense

    I'm in the USA. What can I use instead of the "spirits" you talk about, for cleaning on a daily basis? Thank you! Love the video :-)
