Even if you're the laziest person in the world and cleaning your brushes isn't one of your priorities, the moment when your brushes don't work like before comes and you're forced to wash and clean them. There's a simple and effective way to do it:
1- Fill, not necessarily the lavatory (it can be any container), with warm water;
2- Put a small dose of soap in your hand (1 dose = 1 brush);
3- Get the brush wet;
4- Rub the brush in the hand until the soap lather;
5- Rinse the brush.
It also works with the small brushes.
1- You dry the brush with a towel;
2- Then dry with a tissue to absorb the water that's left.
1- It works with sponges too;
2- Get the sponge wet;
3- Put the soap directly on it and rub;
4- Rinse and wring it;
5- Let it dry normally on a towel.
1- Cut a piece of duct tape and fix the middle on the top of a bar;
2- Put the brush under the bar and fix the brush (head down) with the rest of the duct tape.
1- Once you're in the cleaning vibe, you can also clean the other accessories or products that goes on the goblets where you put your brushes;
2- For that you can just put some ethyl alcohol (that thing that everybody has in their bathroom) on a cotton pad and clean your stuff.
And that's it, some things you may need to know doing this:
- Instead of the soap, the best is the brush cleaner that multiple brands sell.
- Instead of the hand, the best way to clean your brushes is on a silicone accessorie (I already ordered one but I don't have it yet, but you can find it on any cosmetic site for a little price).
- Don't get the methalic part wet, it can get rust and spoil the glue as I explain below.
- You have to put the brushes head down for it to dry properly because:
- If you put it head up (on your goblet for example) the water goes to the methalic part and can spoil the glue that holds the brush's hair;
- If you let it dry on a towel, the brush's hair don't get symmetrical like it was before.
- There are structures to hold the brushes head up or head down, but for who doesn't want to spend money on it and likes to use goblets instead, when you need to put your brushes head down for it to dry for example, you can use a simple bar (like the towel dryer one) and put duct tape to fix it.
