What a Great tip. I have been painting for a week now.  Seems to Take more time to clean the brushes than to paint. Thank you for that tip.

That's a great idea.  Anyone know how to remove dried latex paint (ie Kilz primer) from your HAIR?  I have been painting the house for 2 weeks or more, still have some more to go, and no matter how much I wash my hair, it will not come out.  HELP!!  I look prematurely gray (or white ).  I think I'll be wearing a shower cap when painting from now on!

I'll have to remember this one and give it a try. Wish I'd read this a couple weeks ago when I had some brushes to clean.

If this works it is a miracle!!  I have spent sooo many hours cleaning paint brushes and then they come out stiff and just plain crummy.  This sounds like a great hint, can't wait to try it.

I tried this just yesterday and couldn't believe it worked this good. The brush was clean and soft, THIS ONE REALLY WORKS!

This sounds easy and if it works then great.  Wish I knew about this last year when I was doing so much painting, but now will remember it for when I need to paint again.  Thanks.

Thanks, I'll use this for latex paints. Anyone out there w/ great tips for cleaning artist brushes - encaustic, oil or acrylic paints. My best for encaustic is Dawn in hot water mixed half 'n half w/ household ammonia, but always in search of something even better & a lot less aromatic. Toni

If I don't finish a project in 1 day I put the brush in the fridge or freezer. It keeps the brush from drying out. Easy storage and now easy clean up. Thanks!
