This is correct for any natural haired brush (water can/may weaken the bristles like the hair on your head). However, using a conditioner/cleaner like this nourishes the bristles, Making them last longer. I hope that helps. If you still dont like water, you can always use the BR cleaner soap and thinner method.
You weren’t kidding about this stuff. It’s fantastic. I accidentally left my one inch brush covered in paint for a month. This brought it back to life, removed the dried paint, and left the bristles soft and smooth. Excellent recommendation. Thanks!
Glad I could come in clutch for you. If you need any more tips for keeping your brush clean take a look at this video below: th-cam.com/video/9ABfigTK8dU/w-d-xo.html

I love & been using "Brush Flush" liquid brush cleaner for years.👍💗🌷💗 Buy by the gallon, that lasts about a year for me and I paint every single day. Srsly. I am online now to buy some before I run out but now the regular ground shipping is $29 😬 That's why/how I found your TH-cam channel. I'll try your recommendation. TY 🙂 (I tried the "pink" one...it 😞 some people swear by it but I can't say anything good about it & sadly, a waste of money).
Depends on how quickly you will use them again. If you plan on painting with them the next dry you dont have too. If youu dont use them for more than around a week maybe more, You should get a product like this or a basic conditioner.
You wanna think of it like the hair on your head ( which is natural ) - Water will strip the nutrients out of the hairs and make them brittle. So you have to clean and condition the hairs to make them last longer and keep them strong. So when you use a product like this, It will clean and condition the hairs without making the brittle. I hope that helps
This would be correct, but this cleaner is special formulated to clean and nourish your paint brush so it wont be harmful.,,, In fact, it will actually help it. Hope that helps.
Hi Wild. I use vegetable solvent (not toxic and biodegradable product) to clean brushes. Do you think that the vegetable oil with the pigment from the brushes can ruin pipes and my sink? I haven't got a sink outside... Thanks a lot. Silvia
They can depending on the type of solvent. You can look on the bottle and see what it is classified as (or the manufactures website), That will give you a starting point to see how it should be disposed. Most non toxic and bio-d's are safe because they break down with water BUT always double check
Two questions: How do you feel that this compares to the BRI cleaner conditioner? The BRI brushes state, do not use with water. How will using this product, the Ross brushes, and water effect their quality? Thank you so much for your help.
I find them to be both effective - The Masters is easy to use though. You can just take your brush at anytime and rub it back in forth to get it clean. Where the BRI cleaner requires a few simple steps. I have a video on the BRI cleaner if you want to learn more about it: th-cam.com/video/X-aG6dfSYVI/w-d-xo.html I also talk more about using this cleaner with water here and how its OK provided you do whats in the video: th-cam.com/video/ZE3W2iiErRY/w-d-xo.html I hope those help. Happy Painting!
Great video and I really appreciate your mentioning how oil paints can create problems for plumbing. I'm new to oils and had no idea. Question: I'm using oil paints for Bob Ross painting. So what do YOU do to pre-clean your oil paint brushes before using the Master's e.g. wipe brush off well with paper towels, then use the beater rack but with no product? or maybe I could use Walnut oil first then use the Master's with water? I'd rather not use mineral spirits or other toxic cleaners at all. Just wondering if this is possible with oil paints and Master's alone. Thanks in advance for any additional tips you can provide for this. And now sweat was visible in the video 😉
Happy to help. There are many many ways to clean your brush at the end of the day. I personal use odorless thinner BUT I use Chelsea Thinner ( which is way healthier, but not cheap ). I dip my brush with a screen in it, grind off all the pigment then. Let the thinner drip off then squeeze clean in a blue shop towel. From there I will use the master brush cleaner. Thinner: geni.us/ChelseaLavenderCleaner If you are looking for other ways to clean your brushes take a look at this: th-cam.com/video/9ABfigTK8dU/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates Thanks so much. Very helpful once again and i will definitely give that method a try! Thanks as well for the additional link and i look forward to learning so much more from all your videos. Thanks for all the work you put into them and your passion for sharing!
Not silly its a good question. Next you paint - just beat the brush to remove the dry conditioner then lightly dip it in clean thinner, dab dry and you are good to go :)
Wild, After you have cleaned and shaped your brushes and they have sat a few days, what do you have to do to them before you use them again, such as how you remove any residue soap/conditioner? Great videos by the way, I think I've binged through all of them.
Depends on the product you are using, cause it can differ. BUT most of them (including this product show here) just require you to dip the brush in clean thinner or water before using it ( again depends on the medium you are painting with). Hope that helps.
How do you know when you need new brushes? I wash my brushes after I use them and they are still in pretty good condition but I notice my one inch brush and my two inch brush are starting to get a little frizzy, kind of like what you said when the bristles start to go outwards , and I notice it makes doing bushes or leaves or the grass a little more difficult. Would this product help restore them to less frizzy? I never really knew what the life expectancy is for brushes. Thanks
When the end start to snap and the bristles start to break.... It might be time to get a new brush. This product will help with maintaining shape if you reshape your brush during the cleaning process like I show. Give it a shot I am sure it will help!
I use this for most of my brushes, but I'm scared to use it on my Bob Ross brushes, since they say to not use water on them. Have you noticed any any kind of damage or fraying from using water on them?
Nope my brushes have been fine. This product is specially formulated to clean, nourish and preserve your brushes... So natural bristle brushes will be just fine. :)
Hi I’ve been watching Bob on and of for years and have always wanted to paint. Now I’m eventually ready to go and I’m collecting information and equipment. - I’ve got a fantastic amount of quality information from your videos thank you - now to my reason for comment, question actually, I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that you should never put water near Bob Ross paint brushes. I watched your videos about the cleaners and I really liked the look of the big tub until I saw the tap water ( also your comment about the sink freaked me out cos I have enough problems with my sink without clogging it with oil paint and the outside cold water tap in January in Scotland 🥶). So, sorry about the long winded way of asking but will water not kill Bob Ross brushes? Thanks again for all your hard work.
Think of paint brushes like the hair on your head. Washing and cleaning your hair dries out the hair and makes it brittle ( same thing happens to your paint brushes). Using conditioners and paint soaps will keep the hairs healthy so they last long (even if you use water because those products coat and nourish the hairs). When you are done painting for the day.... Clean the hell out of your brushes in paint thinner and a beater rack and dab in a paper towel. They should be like 95% clean. Then use this product to get the last 5% while conditioning your brushes. You sink will be fine with this process cause you will most likely be cleaning out very little pigment ( mostly remaining thinner is all) Hope that helps
You never want to leave your brushes sitting in a bucket of water or use lots of water to clean them. Just use the minimum required for the Masters brush cleaner to work. The problem with water and natural hair brushes is that natural bristle (hog) hair absorbs water, lots of water. It will make the brush swell and just ruin it.
Wild, Do you have any experience (good or bad) using Murphys oil soap to clean or restore dried brushes... I'm a loyal masters preserver user, but I use Murphys for the initial cleaning, ..
Funny enough I made a video on this product about 2 weeks ago. Testing it out and what its limits are. You can check out the video here to see my thoughts on it. th-cam.com/video/34s-8vUoDdY/w-d-xo.html
@@WildCreates oh also, do you have any tips for cleaning your brush faster? I had to sit there for 8 minutes + like 5 minutes the next day just to get all the soap out of my 1 inch brush and its discouraging me from wanting to paint knowing im gonna get all frustrated
Well if you clean while you paint it makes it a little easier at the end of the day when you have to use the cleaner/preserver. Hard to tell but it sounds like you might be using too much soap. Clean your brushes well with thinner or water first. Then use a small lather of soap... that should be better for ya.
@@WildCreates i use dawn dish soap so how many drops should i use for a 1 inch also wdym by cleaning while i paint? I dont leave paint in my brushes i clean them out and then i go to the soap
Thank you so much! I really wanted a video on this, but what about water getting into the ferrule? Isn't it bad for the brush to leave it in there like that, such that would happen when you leave the brush to be shaped by the conditioner?
During the reshape the brush step, I will always pinch the base of the bristles (aka the ferrule) and pull towards the end of the bristles. This pulls the water away from the ferrule and off the bristles or at least to the end to dry. I also leave my paint brush to dry on a platform that have a decline to it. This way water wants to fall away from the ferrule. Hope that make sense. Could have added that step but the video was already going long 😜
Hey what’s up so I bought this item to clean my 5 Bob Ross brushes and it completely destroyed all of them like each of them the bristles split in the middle and is completely useless now. I know u are looking out for artist with these tips and tricks but this item doesn’t work
Sorry to hear that BUT that's not possible unless you did something way wrong. This product is a conditioner that cleans and nourishes your brushes. Just like the hairs on your head when you take a shower. Sounds like you need to reshape your brush when conditioning. I talk a little about it in this video here: th-cam.com/video/Ce3C81wGkIc/w-d-xo.html
They are not. You can get away with cleaning them with dawn dish soap and water but it will damage the hair/bristles faster. Which is why I recommend getting a product like this that will clean and nourish your brush Hope that helps
washing your beater rack is fine - I would just do it over a plastic bag and let that dry in the sun when you are all down. then you can throw that away. Best to avoid the sink when you can
There's also a 2.5 oz size: www.Amazon.com/General-Pencil-105-BP-Masters-Preserver/dp/B0027AEANE I think it'll be large enough for my Bob Ross 2" brush, so I ordered that size to try it out. I'm sure I'll like it. I probably should have ordered the large tub.
Large Tub Best Tub 😜 The small will be fine for you to just test out to see if you like it. The large tub makes its so much easier to lather and clean all your brushes 💪
Understandable BUT the conditioning lather it leaves on the bristles nourishes and protects. So it outweighs the water issue. Perhaps try the small disc size and test it on a smaller brush so you can see if it fits your style or not.
Make sure to check out the video description for helpful links and videos!
Bob Ross brushes say not to clean with water

washing your beater rack is fine - I would just do it over a plastic bag and let that dry in the sun when you are all down. then you can throw that away. Best to avoid the sink when you can
@@WildCreates Ok, thank you very much!
You are welcome buddy
Is that like soap ?
Yes its like soap... But it is special formulated to lather. This will help with cleaning and preserving your paint brushes.
You should do a painting that we can follow along or just a painting
Currently working on one - They just take a long time to shot by myself.
@@WildCreates ok I cant wait to see it
This is amazing stuff! 💜
Perhaps one of my favorite tools other than my hair pomade 😜💪
@@WildCreates 😂😂😂
Awesome vid thanks
Thanks for watching - I appreciate it :)
There's also a 2.5 oz size:

I think it'll be large enough for my Bob Ross 2" brush, so I ordered that size to try it out. I'm sure I'll like it. I probably should have ordered the large tub.
Large Tub Best Tub 😜
The small will be fine for you to just test out to see if you like it. The large tub makes its so much easier to lather and clean all your brushes 💪
I just use a cup of water
That will work for watch soluble paints But not oils and such.
This product cleans and nourishes the bristles.
Darn almost!😂
Almost on what? 😜
Wild Creates the first view 🤙🏻
Unfortunately the quality of this brush cleaner is down!
They are using less lemon oil in the formula!
Not the same!
😬
Really - I just bought a new tube and it work great. Did you get a big tube or small size?
@@WildCreates I always bought the small round pot
Maybe the top coat on the pot is separated. Let me know if its still crap after a handful of uses.
This product may very well be awesome but no way am I using water on my brushes. Sorry 😢
Understandable BUT the conditioning lather it leaves on the bristles nourishes and protects. So it outweighs the water issue.
Perhaps try the small disc size and test it on a smaller brush so you can see if it fits your style or not.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂 I ruined all my brushes well not all most of them
Get this product then.... It might be able to save your brushes.
It saved a few of mine.
@@WildCreates I mite have to
Go for it buddy :)
1st
Thanks for watching buddy - I appreciate it 💪
Wild Creates Thanks! Have you ever used the Bob Ross oval brush?
I have, I will see what I can do to make a review on that for ya.
