How can I clean water-based paint from brushes and paint pads?
First, remove the excess paint from the brush or pad. Add 1/2 cup of fabric softener per gallon of water. Mix several gallons. Dip a brush into the mixture, swish briskly through the water, and count to 10. Dry the brush using a paintbrush spinner or spin the brush in a wet waste bucket. Finally, rub the tool dry with a small towel.
