If your finished painting and you don’t feel like cleaning your brushes just put them in a cup or a zip lock bag and throw them in the freezer. Next day or month thaw out and continue where you left off.

A great way to clean brushes like that also is to use a container yr brush can fit all the way in, and lay a couple dryer sheets on the bottom and put really hot water in it or use fabric softener with really hot water and let them soap for few hours and the softener from the fabric softener or dryer sheets will soften that had paint so it comes right out! I used this method when I forget! For most part I try to keep a cup or something with hot water and dawn dish soap to stick them in once I’m done painting!

How tf is this a hack that's literally what you are SUPPOSED to do when they do get like that...

Or just buy another brush, theyre cheap af. Not worth the time invested.

Or be lazy like me and crack them and let more paint build up

Can’t save it, the end of the brush those are never the same after that, basically like split end hairs you can never cut in with it again.

I am throwing it away

Or you could just use water and a couple dishwasher and message it with your hands and done ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What she used

Mineral spirits, your welcome

Mineral or coconut oil works too. Especially on the skin.

OMG this is what I needed to see!!!! Thank you!

Great video, saw you on TV the other day demonstrating cleaning and disinfecting ideas, congrats on that!

Darn! I tossed a brush just last week because it hardened. Thanks for this!!

If I don't finish my project or will add a 2nd or 3rd coat of the same color, I just put the paintbrush or roller that I used inside a bag, make a knot, and put it inside the refrigerator. Can be there for days. Then an hour before I am going to reuse it, I take it out so it'll be at room temperature, and it's all good. I used to waste so much money throwing away brushes after I painted or they hardened, thinking I couldn't reuse them.

Oh my...thank you!!! Just getting ready to paint and this ALWAYS happens to me! I have 4 brushes in the garage wrapped in cling wrap that were forgotten! I will definitely try this!

It really works thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you so very much for sharing your wisdom...especially at the exact time that I truly need it!! Painted our bathroom ceiling with a roller on a long pole for the majority of the project but needed a brush to cut in a a few other tricky areas. After finishing my shoulders were screaming in pain and exhaustion as well as my wrists. Placed all of the used supplies in the laundry room sink while tidying up the bathroom. Meant to go right back to clean the brushes and roller right away but...you know how it goes lol. Earlier today I released my error. Thank goodness you posted this awesome video. I wholeheartedly appreciate it and everything you do.

Ummm. Countless brushes will be spared! 😅Thank you!!

It worked !🎉 I really needed it
