Cleaning Paint Brushes

Do you have an old paint brush that you can't get clean, try soaking it in a fairly concentrated solution of Murphys Oil Soup. ( Available at the hardware store maybe even Sobeys or AG) .
It also works for daily cleaning of brushes. Oil painters should first clean with solvent and then the final cleaning with the soap solution. Acrylic painters rinse your brushes first then swish the brush in the soap solution then rinse. I had several old brushes that I thought were goners but after soaking them over night  they were nice and soft again. Let me know if this works for you in the comments.
