If you’re like most painters, you probably have a few brushes that are permanently stained with dried acrylic paint. Here’s how to clean them off without ruining the bristles:

  1. Fill a sink with warm water and add a teaspoon of dishwashing soap. Swish the bristles of the brush in the water until the paint is dissolved.
  2. Rinse the brush under running water until the water runs clear.
  3. Squeeze out any excess water from the brush using your hand.
  4. Place the brush on some paper towel to absorb any excess moisture, then place it in an oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for two minutes or until dry. ..
