If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think of cleaning paint brushes with vinegar as a regular chore. But according to some experts, it’s one of the best ways to get rid of paint build-up and restore the brushes’ effectiveness. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Fill a small bowl or cup with white vinegar and set it next to your paintbrush collection.
  2. Wet the bristles of the brush by dipping it into the vinegar solution, then shake off any excess.
  3. Apply pressure to the bristles with your fingers, scrubbing vigorously against the grain of the brush handle. Don’t use too much pressure or you’ll damage the brush bristles.
  4. Rinse off the brush in clean water and let it dry completely before using it again ..
