I clean my cheap paint brushes, so I don’t have to go buy new ones whenever I need one. I’m much more likely to get a task done if I have everything I need in the garage. Cold water only and air dry.
29 cent brushes (if you can find them anywhere) or any cheap brush I use with oil based paints are thrown out. My good $4-$6 brushes are used with Latex paints and I will clean them multiple times before they are thrown out.

Where are you buying a paintbrush for 29 cents

What can you get that’s 29 cents, except for pennies picked up off the street?

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Sometimes, disposables really are the smarter way to go.

The last time we had our septic tank pumped out, the serviceman showed me all the water-base paint inside; and I hadn’t cleaned a brush in two months.

If only for the experience. But wear the paint stains on your hands and clothes for days. Conversation starters.

Haha, not sure it’s $2 though, at least not here.

$2 worth of hot water, soap and paper towels??? Inflation really is rampant in Pluggerville.

Sentimental reasons depending on what you painted. :)

Not me- – toss into the trash or use it for a door stop (wedge).

Don’t forget to twirl it between your hands to make sure it’s dry…
