How to Store Paintbrushes Many homeowners will use a paintbrush once or twice and throw it away. And consequently, they end up buying really cheap paint brush because they know they are just going to toss them out. A better approach is to buy good quality paintbrushes, clean them really well after each use then store them properly. That way, they will last for many, many years. Here is a paintbrush that I use recently, we applied some latex paint. And first, I cleaned it really well with warm soapy water but before putting it away for good, I am going to use a brush comb which is nothing more than a wooden handle with this sharpened steel pins coming out of it. And it is a great tool for straightening out the bristles and removing any dried paintchips that may have been stuck and left behind after the cleaning process. Now, you can use a wired brush but you have to be really careful because the bristles of the brush may tear out the paint bristles. So then once the bristles are nice and straight, you can just wrap it up. And I like using this craft paper or brown paper that I cut out of a grocery sack and fold it over and secure it with a rubber band. Now, the important part here is to make sure the rubber band is on the metal feral part, otherwise it will deform the bristles. And if the paintbrush usually come with their own sheath and if you have yours from the original brush then you can start on that as well.
