Great product at a great price!
I’m on my third canister of this brush soap—because it’s great! Fabulous lemony scent and keeps my brushes well conditioned.

Excellent for artists. A must in your art material box.
Excellent for artists. A must in your art material box. Cleans old dirt, leaves the bristles soft and in shape. Ideal for artists of oil, acrylic and watercolor. Don't try with commercial paints sticked on old brushes. This is an everyday cleaning product. Soft for your art brushes. Cleans art paints from your brushes once you finish to use the brush. Your brushes will last in good shape, resistant and very cleaned. A good practice: change the water often while you paint. If you leave the brushes too much time in the dirty, cleaning brushes water, that will damage your pricey brushes. You can make a wash and place them out the water can. After finishing, clean all the brushes with this soap

A Must-Have for Keeping Brushes Like New
The Masters Brush Cleaner and Preserver works incredibly well and does exactly what it promises. It cleans my brushes thoroughly and brings them back to life after use, even when dealing with stubborn paint. I’ve used it on different types of brushes and it consistently delivers great results. I love that it’s non-toxic and easy to use, making cleanup quick and stress-free. If you care about your brushes and want them to last, this is an absolute must-have. I loved it and wouldn’t be without it now.

Outstanding product, but don't use it for your cosmetics brushes.
I bought this to use for cleaning my artists' brushes, and it is superb for that use. It's quick and easy to use, and it leaves my brushes smooth, silky, and glossy. I consider it as much a brush conditioner as a brush cleaner. I am going to get out my old ratty brushes that I was ready to throw out and use it on them, and I expect it to work a miracle on them. I have some cosmetics brushes that are in bad shape too, and I noticed some reviewers are using this product on their cosmetics brushes. I had reservations about doing that because I'm very careful about what I allow to come into contact with my skin. Any toxic ingredient will be absorbed right into your bloodstream. Just because a product is gentle does not mean it is nontoxic. I looked everywhere on the product and on the web trying to find a list of ingredients, and they were nowhere to be found. So I contacted the General Pencil Company that makes this product and asked them for a full list of their ingredients and whether it can be used for cosmetic brushes. This is the reply I received: "We have heard that many people use this product for their make-up brushes however since this is not tested for cosmetic use we are unable to recommend for cleaning your cosmetic/eye liner brushes. The ingredients in our brush Cleaner is proprietary information. The Masters® Brush Cleaner is tested and certified for safety by the Art & Creative Materials Institute" The fact that the ingredients are "proprietary information" and they will not release them to the public AND the fact that they do not recommend using their product for cosmetic brushes is all I need to convince me never to use it for that. The company knows what is in their product--we don't--and they say not to use it on cosmetics brushes. Don't take a chance with your health. Use a product designed for cleaning cosmetic brushes. It may not leave them as gorgeous as this product does, but it will be formulated for that purpose and required to comply with government regulations for that use. For your artists' brushes, though, get this product. It is hands down the best art brush cleaner I've ever used or even heard of. It's probably the best in the world. Don't hesitate to use it on your brushes. Just not on your skin or cosmetics brushes. I recommend getting this smaller size to keep in your artist's bag to carry around with you and a larger size to keep at home for all your household brushes, like the ones you use to paint rooms with.

Quickly releases paint off my brushes
Acrylic paints are released quickly by a simple swirl onto the masters brush cleaner. I keep it on the sink and quickly protect my brushes during and after painting. Easy to use

Works well on synthetic and natural brushes
I've started using washing my brushes before storage with this brush cleaner and it's definitely given my brushes a more supple and soft feel while keeping the tips nice and crisp. Definitely worth it to keep your brushes top tier.

Easy to use, even for a novice
I first learned of this at art therapy for cancer survivors It cleans the brushes that we used so well! We painted with acrylic paint. I was very pleased with the ease of use and how long it lasted. Great purchase for me because I plan to keep my new brushes a long time

I bought this in September 2025 and was skeptical, I was also put off by what I thought was a high price but... This product is amazing! I have been using the same brush for my miniatures for 5 months!! I clean it every day in the evening when I have finished painting Warhammer for the day and leave it to dry over night, next day its like using a new brush again! This product has loads left and has kept my favorirte brush clean and reusable where as in the past I would have probably got through about 10 of these brushes in 5 months so the cleaner is already saying me money. Watch a you turbe video on how to use it for best results but basically you wet your brush and gentally rub it over teh cleaner then wash again with water and repeat until no more paint shows up on the cleaner then swill your brush in water and leave it to dry. Amazing product and well worth the money.

He usado otros jabones especializados, además del típico lagarto e incluso jabón casero. Pues bien, ningún se le acerca a este, es increíble lo rápido y buen que limpia unos pinceles con restos de oleo seco que se había endurecido, las cerdas vuelven a quedar limpias y flexibles. Ni os lo penséis, compradlo, no os arrepentiréis.

It works well on brushes, better than liquid cleaners and lasts longer. It’s a bit pricey but worth it seeing how quality new brushes are.
