What's the best way to store paint brushes overnight before returning to a job?
The easiest thing to do to store your brushes overnight, to avoid them drying out, and so you do not need to wash your brushes too often, you can wrap the head of your paintbrushes or rollers in cling film. If you do not have any cling film, you can also secure these in an airtight plastic bag.
Firstly, if you are using oil based paints we recommend you clean your brush using white spirits or turpentine. If you have been using a water-based paint, opt for hot water and liquid dish soap. For brushes used with oil-based paints, place enough of the solvent or water solution into a plastic bowl or container to completely submerge the bristles, but do not dip your dirty brush directly in. Slowly stir the brush in the solvent for 10-30 seconds. Change the water or soluton as needed until all the paint is removed. For water-based paints, simply rinse your brushes or rollers under a tap until the water runs clear.
