How to clean, dry and store your brushes to maintain their shape and avoid fraying bristles.

To keep your brushes in great shape simply wrap them in a paper towel roll. First clean them with Murphy's oil soap and rinse with fabric softener and water. Gently squeeze water and shape with fingers. Wrap with a used tube from a paper towel or toilet tissue roll. Secure loosely with a rubber band. Dry with bristles upright or hanging freely upside down.
