I am quite sure this is a new one for you. Have you ever heard of creolin, it is a black liquid and is generally used as a disinfectant (NOT on the Human Body). It can be bought at Hardware stores. However, should you have a paint brush with the bristles caked hard with oil paint from years ago and you would like to soften the bristles. Soak the brush in creolin for a few hours then take a wire brush and brush out the softened old paint in a jiffy. Hope this helps. David

that is the only way to do it! saying this as someone who sold bristles for 15 years!
a great way to store brushes overnight or for a few hours is the chummy, a convenient storage box sold on diypaintbox.com; saves cleaning time and mess at times when you do not want or do not have to clean....

It's much cheaper to trow the brushes and buy new ones, than the amount of thinner you need to clean them.
I use the brushes just one time.

Thanks for the tips! I just finished painting an old bench, and I was curious how to properly clean my brush.
