Description
The Masters Brush Cleaner and Preserver is the go-to choice for artists who want their brushes to last. Since 1979, painters have trusted this non-toxic, solid cleaning soap to remove tough acrylics, oils, watercolors, and inks — while conditioning bristles to keep them soft and flexible. Simply wet your brush, swirl it gently on the surface of The Masters®, work it into the bristles, rinse, and reshape. Stubborn dried paint? Repeat until fully clean. Ideal for artists, students, hobbyists, and professionals who need reliable brush maintenance across any medium. This product is tested and certified for safety by the Art & Creative Materials Institute. It is not tested for cosmetic use and is recommended only for art brushes.

Blown Away!!!
This brush cleaner has been a game changer for me. I usually just clean my brushes in warm water and dish soap, but I’ve recently gotten into using the glue-type sealants on my art projects. I noticed that my brushes just weren’t getting as clean and stayed stiff feeling from the sealant. A quick search on the net brought me to The Master’s Brush Cleaner, and it stripped away every bit of the built up paint and gunk, and left my brushes feeling softer than they did the day I bought them! This product also conditions the brushes great without overdoing it which helps extend their life. Don’t hesitate! Push that “Add to Cart” button. You won’t be disappointed!

Great for saving brushes
Great product for really cleaning artists brushes. Use acrylic but you can’t get it all out without this. Easy to use and worth it if you value your brushes.

Classic
I've been cleaning paintbrushes with this soap for decades. Rinse the paint out with LUKEWARM water (never use hot with a natural bristle brush), pick up a bit of soap, and lather it in on your palm. This stuff has always been a good value, smells amazing, and a container lasts forever. To condition your brush, add a dab after rinsing, and your sable brush will thank you. Again, NEVER wash a natural hair brush with hot water.

Makes me so happy!
Love this stuff!! Makes my rushes smooth and clean. After rinsing and washing at the sink, they look good. Then I use General's and more paint comes out and they soften right up!! I look forward to cleaning my brushes now as the experience is so simple and satisfying!! Seriously!

This needs to be on your desk if you own a brush. Point blank.
This stuff is honestly awesome. I thought my brushes were already clean until I used this and saw how much paint STILL kept coming out of them. It’s actually kind of crazy how well it works. I use it mostly for miniature painting and acrylic paints and it made some of my older brushes feel way better again. Brushes that felt stiff or messed up started holding a point better after cleaning them with this. Also kinda weird but it’s super satisfying and therapeutic to use. Just scrubbing the brush around and watching old paint come out feels really nice for some reason lol. A little bit lasts a long time too so the container goes farther than I expected. Definitely worth buying if you paint a lot and want your brushes to last longer.

Outstanding product, but don't use it for your cosmetics brushes.
I bought this to use for cleaning my artists' brushes, and it is superb for that use. It's quick and easy to use, and it leaves my brushes smooth, silky, and glossy. I consider it as much a brush conditioner as a brush cleaner. I am going to get out my old ratty brushes that I was ready to throw out and use it on them, and I expect it to work a miracle on them. I have some cosmetics brushes that are in bad shape too, and I noticed some reviewers are using this product on their cosmetics brushes. I had reservations about doing that because I'm very careful about what I allow to come into contact with my skin. Any toxic ingredient will be absorbed right into your bloodstream. Just because a product is gentle does not mean it is nontoxic. I looked everywhere on the product and on the web trying to find a list of ingredients, and they were nowhere to be found. So I contacted the General Pencil Company that makes this product and asked them for a full list of their ingredients and whether it can be used for cosmetic brushes. This is the reply I received: "We have heard that many people use this product for their make-up brushes however since this is not tested for cosmetic use we are unable to recommend for cleaning your cosmetic/eye liner brushes. The ingredients in our brush Cleaner is proprietary information. The Masters® Brush Cleaner is tested and certified for safety by the Art & Creative Materials Institute" The fact that the ingredients are "proprietary information" and they will not release them to the public AND the fact that they do not recommend using their product for cosmetic brushes is all I need to convince me never to use it for that. The company knows what is in their product--we don't--and they say not to use it on cosmetics brushes. Don't take a chance with your health. Use a product designed for cleaning cosmetic brushes. It may not leave them as gorgeous as this product does, but it will be formulated for that purpose and required to comply with government regulations for that use. For your artists' brushes, though, get this product. It is hands down the best art brush cleaner I've ever used or even heard of. It's probably the best in the world. Don't hesitate to use it on your brushes. Just not on your skin or cosmetics brushes. I recommend getting this smaller size to keep in your artist's bag to carry around with you and a larger size to keep at home for all your household brushes, like the ones you use to paint rooms with.
