The DeSerres paintbrushes are an excellent value. Care: Caring for paintbrushes is essential to keeping them in good working condition and to their life span. Oil: dip the paintbrush in a solvent such as taltine. Clean in soapy water and rinse in warm water. Acrylic: clean in soapy water and rinse in warm water. Practical information: Never let dry before cleaning. Using a hydrating paintbrush cleaner after using taltine or soap prevents bristles from drying and keeps the supple shape of the paintbrush.
