What's the best way to clean a used brush that has paint all over it?

Paint thinner in my bathtub?What's the best way to clean a used brush that has paint all over it?
All of the suggestions work. Repeat the soak/rinse method as often as necessary to remove the bulk of the paint. Once the bulk of the paint is removed, hang your brush up to dry with the bristles pointing down; I hang mine from a pipe in my garage. Once the brush has completely dried, use a coarse, steel-bristled brush to finish removing the small amounts of dried paint residue as well as separate the numerous bristles that will be stuck together. There may be a few ';fly-away'; bristles after this. If necessary, use a good pair of sheers to trim them back AND pay attention to the angle/taper of the bristles (especially important if you are doing this on a cut-in brush).What's the best way to clean a used brush that has paint all over it?
rinse it out with water,put it in a ocntainer with liquid fabric softner over night then rinse again
Throw it away, and find a store like I have near me, it sells everything under $10. and I can buy paint brushes for one to three dallors each, these brushes are as good and I mean as good as six to nine dallor burshes at a hardware store. every time I go near that place I buy a hand full of brushes, I probably have forty brushes by now and if I use varnish or simular, I just throw th brush away...
Let the brush sit in hot soapy water for a while. You can try paint thinner also.
paint thinner or turpentine in a small bucket or pail- let it soak for awhile
Paint thinner is bad, nasty! Use some oil, loosens the paint, repetitively clean out with mild soap,oil, soap,oil, soap. Only use thinner as last result. If you need to get out all residue, alternate with vinegar after you think you've got it clean with soap and water. It will strip,oil,vinegar,oil. Don't do this often because it will make the hairs brittle, but effected if you have a red in the brush and then you'd like to paint a pure yellow, without the orange streak.
soak the brush in water to begin with, then use white spirits this will remove the paint
I am assuming that the brush has dried paint in the bristles. Your local hardware store will have something called ';Brush Cleaner %26amp; Reconditioner'; that can be used for latex or oil based paint. Following the directions will revamp your brush. The product is between $3-$6.
Brushes are so reasonable - throw it away and buy a new one.
