cleaning paint brush in fabric softener (Question)

May 28, 2007 2 Replies

I was at my son's house today and he had just finished a small paint project. I saw him pour something from a container that looked like a half gal milk box.



I asked what it was and he said cheap / generic fabric softener that he soaks his brush in for about an hour and that it makes them easier to was. He was using latex paint.



Personally, I never heard of anything like this. He said he got the idea from his bro-in-law.



Anyone ever hear of this?



PS: I'm sure sounds like a troll, but it's for real.

I like to clean them and then cover them in murphys oil. I've been using the same cut-in brush for years.

I use hair conditioner on my good brushes.
