i have a bucket of water near me to put my brushes in ...... I have found that my cosmotop german 2inch flat brush is far more durable then my other brushes..and when acrylic paint has dried on it,i rinse it out clean all the bristles,and it still keeps going,blending colours well, i`m very impressed with it..had it 18 months now i think!

I do have one comment about this, though its not about washing of brushes exactly, a long time ago someone suggested I dab flat brushes on a bar of soap after washing to help them keep their shape, I still use this method now. once I see a flat brush going out of shape I brush it on some simple soap & it makes it become flat again, i let it dry this way, the soap helps the brush hold its shape.... not sure what others will think of this,but its worked for me!
