🧼 Brush Cleaning & Maintenance

Keeping your brushes in top condition helps them last longer and perform better. That's why we stock a complete range of brush cleaning tools and care products:

Brush Cleaning Essentials:

Cleaning Jars & Rinse Wells – Easily clean between colours
Brush Cleaning Sheets – Gentle, lint-free wipes for removing excess paint
Brush Soaps & Liquids – Clean deeply and safely
Brush Starch & Conditioners – Help reshape and preserve fine bristles

Brush Care Tips:

Use lukewarm water and mild soap for daily cleaning.
Avoid soaking brushes bristle-side down — this can permanently bend the tip.
Always reshape the tip after washing and lay brushes flat to dry.
Use stronger cleaners sparingly — especially with natural fibre brushes like sable and Kolinsky, which can be damaged by harsh chemicals.
Never use boiling water, as it can soften the glue inside the ferrule and ruin the brush.

Proper brush care saves you time and money — and ensures your detail work stays sharp and consistent.
