If you need to remove dried paint from stiff paint brushes, use water, spirits, paint thinner, or turpentine. Brushes should be washed immediately following a project to prevent damage. Good paint brushes are worth the money, whether you’re painting with latex, oil, or shellac.

To clean paintbrushes, remove the pot from heat and let it sit until cool. Carefully remove the paint brush from the vinegar (use tongs or a pot holder to avoid burning). Comb and rinse the brush.

The best way to clean a paintbrush is to be as gentle as possible, using warm water, a little bit of soap, and your fingers to try to clean the paintbrush off. If that doesn’t work, use mild soap and water to wash the bristles thoroughly, gently massaging to remove any remaining paint. Wear gloves if comfortable.
