Okay, so I've got a set of Eco tools make up brushes, I've had them for around 5 months but I don't use them everyday. I've washed them around twice (terrible, I know!) I was just wondering what techniques you guys use to clean your brushes? How often should I wash them (if used 3-5 times a week)? And if there is anything I could do to speed up the drying process! Any other tips would be welcomed! Thanks xxx

Wash with cleaner or baby shampoo once every other week. Apply a small amount of cleaner I'm your hand or a cup, wet the brush and swirl it until you see the product come out. For waterproof Makeup you may want to rub in some baby oil to loosen the product before washing as usual. Leave them to dry in a well ventilated area. For a quick clean, you can get sprays where you spay and wipe on a paper towel

Elf do a really good spray smells nice and quite cheap! 

Hey hun..baby shampoo is great for deep cleaning your brushes. If you use liquid makeup, cleanse those brushes daily (usually at night before bed and they'll be ready for morning). As for your dry brushes, between deep cleans spray them with an antibacterial brush spray (usually under ten bucks) and voila!

I also have the eco brushes and use a No7 makeup brush cleaner to clean mine , you can pick it up at boots or other basic stores and I just clean them once a month and I use them at least every other day :)
