Consejos de Limpieza: Como Limpiar un Pincel

What happens here

Begin by removing as much dry or semi-dry paint as possible from the bristles and ferrule of the standard paint brush. Use a 5-in-1 painting tool, also known as a painter's multi-tool, to scrape the paint off. This initial scraping helps loosen the hardened paint and reduces the amount of residue before rinsing.

Goal: Remove hardened paint from a standard paint brush
