I just washed mine w/ dish soap &&' olive oil. Works great for me. I guess it just depends on what you like.

I use Dawn dish soap & olive oil.
I usually put both ingredients on a dinner plate, using more dish soap than olive oil. I then swirl my brushes around in the mixture, really working it into the bristles. I rinse them until the water runs clean, then leave them upside down to dry c:

hope that makes sense & helps a little :p xx

Just don't use hot water, it will dissolve the glue that holds the bristles together :)

Baking soda works well when mixed with water to form a paste. I also use a spray from target just to freshen them up between uses! I forgot the name of it but its a purple liquid!

I use shampoo or hand soap. I put some in the palm of my hand and then swirl around the wet brush in there. It really is satisfying to see all the makeup "dirt" coming out!

I use the makeup store brush soap. I wet the brushes, swirl them around on the soap and then swirl it up and down my fingers to work the soap into every hair. Then I wash the soap off. I also use the MAC brush cleaner for spot cleaning my brushes.

It put your britches bake in the same sheep they were when you bought some same she say were lukewarm water or baby shampoo I also use brush gaurds it takes a little longer for your brushes to dry but it's worth it because it puts your bristles back in the shape they were in the day you bought the brushes.
