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.

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.

Review: Excellent for artists. A must in your art material box. - Excellent for artists. A must in your art material box. Cleans old dirt, leaves the bristles soft and in shape. Ideal for artists of oil, acrylic and watercolor. Don't try with commercial paints sticked on old brushes. This is an everyday cleaning product. Soft for your art brushes. Cleans art paints from your brushes once you finish to use the brush. Your brushes will last in good shape, resistant and very cleaned. A good practice: change the water often while you paint. If you leave the brushes too much time in the dirty, cleaning brushes water, that will damage your pricey brushes. You can make a wash and place them out the water can. After finishing, clean all the brushes with this soap
Review: 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you use this?  Is it like a soap?**
A: Great Question!.. it is a hard almost like a polish composition- firm material , but when you work your brush in to it - a wet brush is best and wipe your brush back and forth it picks up the firm soap material and then you can work it in your brush with your fingers to clean- it works really well!

**Q: can this also be used as a paint thinner?**
A: This is a solid cake of brush soap. It will not thin paint and is not intended to be added to artwork. For oil based paints, solvents can thin paint and clean brushes, but this product will not.

**Q: Can you use this on regular sized brushes? Like i paint houses. So can i use it for  my brushes n  my rollers?**
A: you can , but you will have to scrape some out-  unless they are high end house paint brushes, you may want to use less expensive throw away house paint brushes

**Q: Will this stuff reshape brushes too? I bought some cheapies off the internet and bristles are all over the place.**
A: This particular brand has been around for over 130 years and their products have never failed a student or artists, yes, it will reshape brushes perfectly. wet, dip, coat and let stand, when you're ready to use it, just wash off the soap. Also, what kind of brushes are you using that fray so easily ? shop around for taklon, sable or just a better brush.
