Thanks Bri, I like to hear how others take care of their brushes as I'm still searching for the best way as I feel I'm doing more damage to them in the clean-up rather than the actual painting. I clean mine by rubbing them in the palm of my hand till there’s no trace of color coming out. With a cocktail of Good liquid hand soap and a 1/3 of Olive oil. This is the best my brushes have felt in a long time. Why the Olive oil??? I heard olive oil really likes to penetrate the skin. So I figured why not the hair. The hair if you blow it up on a microscope has scales like a fish. So I figured if the quality of the Olive oil likes to perforate then makes sense to use it. Anyways my brushes are better for it.

Did you happen to know if B&J's listed any of their ingredients ?

Thanks..... Doug
