Pro tip: Quick brush wash stops rough spots on furniture
I used to toss my brushes in a jar of thinner after a job. Bits of old finish would harden on the bristles. Then, I switched to rinsing them with soap and water right away. It only takes an extra five minutes. Now, my brushes are clean and soft for the next use. My stain goes on even without any grit or streaks. This small habit saved me money and improved my work. What's your go-to method for keeping tools ready?

Yeah, I just dip mine in a bit of paint thinner and wipe them off. It's quick and works for oil-based finishes. Brushes dry clean every time.

Do you ever notice how everyone has a weird cleaning secret?

That "weird cleaning secret" thing is so true. Stuff you read online, like jade_miller62 using paint thinner on brushes, makes you wonder who figured that out first.
