Choosing brush cleaners
Start with the form. Brush cleaners come as liquids, gels, bars, sprays, and cleansing mats. Liquids and gels suit regular washing at the sink, while bars and mats are easier to pack for travel.
Check the ingredient list and the brush types the label names, since bristle materials can differ. Choose a size and finish that fits how often you clean. A light spray works for quick touch-ups, while a richer formula suits heavier buildup.
Getting the most from brush cleaners
Wet the bristles with lukewarm water, work a small amount of cleaner into them with a towel or your palm, and rinse until the water runs clear. Avoid soaking the handle. Then reshape the bristles and lay the brush flat to dry.
A regular cleaning routine helps keep your brush set ready to use whenever you need it.
