It usually comes down to a few simple habits.

๐Ÿ–Œ Donโ€™t let paint dry on your brush (this is the big one!)
๐Ÿ–Œ Go easy on pressure. Let the brush do the work
๐Ÿ–Œ Reshape bristles after washing while theyโ€™re still damp
๐Ÿ–Œ Dry them properly (never bristles-down in water or a jar)

And one more thing we always tell customers: using the right brush for the job makes a huge difference.

If your brushes are starting to misbehave, pop in and chat to us. Weโ€™re always happy to help you troubleshoot and keep your tools in top shape ๐ŸŽจ
