I used to mix it with Dawn Dish detergent, but I didn't notice a difference, so now I just use Dawn (I have no idea if this is okay for your brushes, but it does get them clean easily, but I only have elf or really cheap brushes)

I think people use olive oil because it's suppose to act as a conditioner for the brush bristols. I use to use it and stopped because I felt that regular dish washing soap worked fine all by itself.
