The correct answer is: Wash them thoroughly and store them with the bristles up.
Proper care for brushes involves thoroughly washing them after each use to remove any paint residue. This can be done using warm water and mild soap or brush cleaner. Gently lather the bristles and rinse until the water runs clear. Avoid getting the ferrule (the metal part connecting the bristles to the handle) wet, as it can cause rust or deterioration.
After washing, reshape the bristles to their original shape and lay them flat on a clean surface or use a brush holder to keep them upright with the bristles facing upward. Storing them with the bristles up helps prevent damage or distortion to the shape of the bristles.
It is important to avoid drying brushes upright in a container with the bristles down, as water can collect in the ferrule and cause the bristles to loosen or shed over time.
Rinsing the brushes in hot water and rubbing them dry between paper towels can lead to damage and breakage of the bristles. Similarly, vigorously scrubbing them under cold water can cause bristle damage. Soaking the brushes in water and then drying them with a paper towel can lead to excessive moisture retention and potential mold growth.
Remember, proper care and storage of brushes are essential to maintain their quality and extend their lifespan.
