How do I store these brushes?

Do I need special cleaners for these brushes?

Troubleshooting

Bristles are splaying or losing their shape

Ensure brushes are dried lying flat or hanging bristle-down. Avoid leaving them in water for long durations.

Paint is stuck in the ferrule

Use a gentle brush soap and work the lather into the base of the bristles, rinsing thoroughly until no pigment remains.

Handle paint is chipping

Avoid using harsh chemicals on the wooden handles; wipe clean with a damp cloth immediately after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Daler-Rowney brushes, proper cleaning is essential. For water-based media like acrylics and watercolors, rinse immediately with lukewarm water and mild soap until the water runs clear. For oil paints, remove excess color with a lint-free cloth before cleaning with an appropriate brush cleaner or low-odor solvent, followed by a gentle soap wash. Reshape the bristles while damp and lay them flat or store them bristle-up to allow them to dry completely without deforming the tips. Do not leave brushes soaking in water or solvent for extended periods, as this can damage the handle finish and loosen the ferrule.
