Paint Brushes & Equipment

To care for your paintbrush, clean it after each use with warm water and soap. You should also reshape the bristles while they're wet and let them dry completely before storing them.

Before putting your paint away, make sure to clean the rim and sides of the can - this will prevent any dried paint from preventing you from opening the lid next time.
To help keep the remaining paint in good condition, store your cans in a cool area out of direct sunlight. It's also important to avoid keeping metal cans on metal shelves as this could cause rusting. Another storage tip is to keep them in plastic tubs so that you can contain any potential spills.

The best way to store your paintbrush is in a designated brush holder or in an old coffee mug. You should avoid storing your brush in direct sunlight or a damp area.
