What is the best way to clean oil paint out of brushes?

Either I am using the wrong product or am doing it incorrectly, but I always end up giving up on trying to clean them. I just wait until they are too hard to use and then get new ones- which has become quite expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, usually I just use turpenoid (paint thinner) first. Pour some into a cup (not a lot) and swirl my brushes around. That'll get most of the color out. Then, I use dish detergent. I found that works really well. Maybe thats what you need. Good Luck ! ^_^

turpentine i think use in well ventilated room.


hope this helps.
soap amd water? idk
Some use turpentine, its very pungant, and flammable. Some, and I, have used Liseed oil. Its much less odor and cleans well, tho it does leave the brush oily, but that's ok, because you don't want them to dry out. Both, or other products should be available at art supply stores or wherever you buy brushes.
Try turpentine, let the brushes soak in a bowl of turpentine for a few minutes then clean the brushes with running you fingers through the brissels to get all the paint out then dry it well. You probably won't get all the paint out, but your brushes will last longer. :)
There are a few ways to go about it but indeed, paint buildup is cause of death #1 for your brushes. Good cleaning helps but those pesky nooks and crannies will ultimately fill up beyond hope of ever getting clean.





Turp and a rag first. Don't soak and be gentle


After that use a mild soap you would use for your hands or art gel (W%26amp;N).


Rinse in warm water. If color (pigment is still coming out, repeat.


Mold the form back into the bristles.


Leave to dry and store bristles ponting up, in a jar. Never leave brushes standing on their bristles.
