cleaning paintbrushed efficiently
Can somebody please tell me how to clean paintbrushes efficiently.
Using water based paint is no problem as you can run them under the tap but solvent based paints seem to use litres and litres of white spirit or turps to get them properly clean.
I am obviously no good at it as i now have a shed full of useless rock hard brushes....
please can someone give me a solution that doesnt use gallons of solvents in the process......thankyou..

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.There is a website called Granny Knows Best and Granny mentions using vinegar. I don't know if it's true but you could take a look.
I also read in one of those home magazines that after washing your paintbrushes it's always a good idea to tie newspaper around them.
Have never tried myself but could be worth a try.
