Jennifer G on Apr 25, 2014I've had good luck with both Windex and Nature's Orange Cleaner (not together - one or the other) for dried paint on brushes. Soak overnight and then clean with HOT water and a brush comb - Looks like a normal comb but with very pointy and sharp tips (found in the paint section of your local hardware store). This method even works on primer… My Purdy brushes are over 20 years old, have painted 6 houses (inside & out) and still look & work like new :)
