I've been looking for the perfect, most efficient and effective way to wash my brushes for a while now. I've used actual brush cleaner (which was fine but a bit expensive compared to other options), olive oil (took me a long time to get all the oil out of the brushes, and baby shampoo (I know a lot of people like this method but it never fully cleaned my brushes). Finally, yesterday while digging around in my stuff I noticed an old bar of Dove Soap I had but never used. There's a strange phenomenon in my house where we always have bars of soap stocked even though no one in my house actually uses bars of soap (we're liquid soap people).
Anyway I decided to try using this to wash my brushes and I got the best results I've ever seen. All I did was wet the brush, swipe the brush on the bar a few times to create a lather, and then scrub it on the palm of my hand under the faucet until it was clean. I was able to give my brushes a real thorough cleaning without having to buy more brush cleaner or baby shampoo. Since for whatever reason I always have bars of soap around my house I don't foresee having to repurchase anytime soon :)
How do you like to wash your brushes?
