Your color brushes are your secret weapons—but only if they stay clean and performing at their best. Here’s your easy, effective guide to keeping them in tip‑top shape—and why it matters.

1. Why Clean Brushes = Better Color, Happier Clients

Old residue builds up, causing clumping, uneven application, and muddy results. Clean brushes deliver smooth, even color every time—your artistry deserves that consistency.

2. Daily Clean Routine (End of Day)

• Rinse bristles under warm water until the flow runs clear.
• Gently squeeze out excess and lay the brush flat to dry (avoid standing bristles upright—they flare out).
• If your station allows, keep a backup like the OG Color Brush Two-Pack for in‑between swaps.

3. Deep Clean (Weekly or After Heavy Use)

• Soak bristles in warm, sudsy water (a drop of gentle shampoo or diluted disinfectant works wonders).
• Swish and rinse thoroughly, then reshape the bristles. Lay flat or bristles‐up in a cup to dry completely.
• Prefer a trio? The Everyday Essentials Brush Set gives you three brushes to rotate—so deep‑cleaning each one is simpler and seamless.

4. Handle Care Matters, Too

Modern handles like the Painter Color Brush use wheat-fiber construction. Always avoid soaking handles too long—just a quick bristle wash is enough to keep both form and function sleek.

5. Storage & Hygiene Tips

Store brushes bristle‑up in a cup or drawer to maintain shape. Always dry them fully—wet brushes = bacteria breeding ground. Label separate cups or pouches for clean vs. used brushes for added protection.

6. When to Replace

Watch for frayed bristles, misshapen heads, or if they start holding product more than they release it. A little refresh, like swapping in new ones from your Everyday Essentials Brush Set, keeps your tools performing—and looking—like new.  

From Here On, It’s Sparkling

Clean brushes translate to clean color—and clean techniques elevate your reputation. Keep a rotation of fresh tools in play, clean consistently, and your station will reflect the professionalism that sets you apart.
