An Answerbank Merchandising Opportunity

Hi.
I am just about to start glossing all the woodwork and was wondering what was the best way of cleaning and storing the brush over night to use again the next day. I normally buy a load of cheap and nasty brushes and then bin them but I am going to buy 2 decent brushes this time and want to keep them as planning to do the whole house.
Also what about if you are in the middle of glossing and you need to take a break for about 20/30 mins to see to the childrens tea or something but you intend to carry on after. What would then be the best thing to do with the brush. Surely you don't have to clean it all every time you take a quick break.
Maybe it would be better to buy a job lot of crap brushes and sling them. LOL
Thanks.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I normally get the excess of and then leave in a jar of white spirit mixed with water for a while, then go back and get the excess off again, I don't generally use the same one the next day though. I read in an article that the best way to store a pain brush is to wrap newspaper around the bristles and tie it with string. Never tried myself though. I like the Harris No Loss Paintbrushes (they have a navy handle) as they don't break the bank and in my experience they wash up well. Happy painting!
