HOW TO GIVE YOUR BRUSHES A CLEAN SWEEP:

1. Storage: Store brushes in their custom pouches to assure they stay safe, so that the bristles will not be crushed.

2. Cleaning: Once a month use mild soap or shampoo and water. Gently work soap or shampoo through the bristles. Swirl the brush in circles in the palm of your hand and rinse under water, until water is clear.

3. Drying: If possible, brushes love to be hung up, bristles facing to the floor to
assure all moisture egresses.

4. Quick Cleanings: As needed, use an alcohol-free swab to remove access makeup in between big washes.
