I use Beauty So Clean to sanitize my products and a daily brush cleaner as well as a once a week deep cleaning product for my brushes. the daily Sanitizer is starting to get costly since I use a lot of brushes. any home recipes for a daily brush cleaner ? I only use synthetic brushes so not sure if that will make a difference in what you use

I use the Japonesque/Parian Spirt brush cleanser for my daily and spot cleaning, I know it's not a homemade product but you can get it very inexpensively on Amazon or as part of a BOGO at Ulta. For my once a week deep cleaning, I use Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap and it's the best thing ever. I wash about 20-30 brushes a week and I use about a tablespoon and a half of Dr. Bronner's to get them all totally clean. It's also very cheap online, and I get it at Target when I don't want to wait for it. I paid $17 for a bottle that has lasted me for almost 2 years. Hope this helps!

Antibacterial soap+Oil thanks to Michelle Phan

Alcohol once in a while to strip them.

Beauty so clean... hmm I thought that was a product sanitizer... sounds expensive as a brush cleaner

I don't think the olive oil is needed for synthetic brushes because the bristles don't need to be conditioned like animal hair, but I could try the antibacterial soap. for the deep clean but was looking for something I could just spray on for daily spot cleaning. maybe I'll try alcohol. yes I only use beauty so clean for my makeup products, not brushes

Baby shampoo for deep cleaning and MAC brush cleaner for in between clients. If you have the MAC PRO discount their cleaner is super affordable :)

Michelle for clients that's why I need a true Sanitizer I'm going to look into the japonesque one I just want something cheaper that still disinfects. I do wash my personal brushes with same cleansers I use on clients though. I was kind of wondering if anyone made their own with alcohol and if anything else needed to be added etc

I use baby shampoo on my personal brushes. I'm in a mud makeup class right now and in between clients we sanitize our brushes with I believe 99% alcohol. It cleans well and dries fast.

Yeah the olive oil isnt necessary but I mix one batch and use it on all brushes so...

And I find that oil does help to cleanse makeup... its like a solvent for many makeup, then the soap if the surface acting agent. I have a few syn brushes the have this sort of scum precipitate even after washing with soap. Only alcohol and oil can get it off.

I think this scum occurs because I use milk of magnesia but idk.
