Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to check and see how others clean their brushes and see if there was a better way. When I'm done putting on my stain, paint, varnish, etc on I fill a jar with mineral spirits (or whatever the solvent is) and slosh the brush in it. Then I wash in soap and water and then I put clean mineral spirits on the brush and dry with a paper town and put it into it's cardboard holder to keep the bristles from going crazy.

Take a look at this recent thread.....
What do you suggest doing a search on to find that thread?
Sorry for the bad link....
There was a recent thread discussion titled "better way to clean a brush" which had a lot of good ideas about this topic.

Larry,
Why didn't you just tell him that you send your brushes out to the dry cleaners - no fuss, no muss.....;-)
