The first thing to do is to choose a suitable container for cleaning your brushes. Bristle Magic will breakdown some plastics. Be sure to use a PET plastic, ceramic or glass container for soaking your brushes.

Acrylic paint and some plastics have similar properties and we know Bristle Magic softens hardened acrylic paint. So for example, stay away from using Solo cups or foam cups to soak brushes as they will disintegrate quickly. Use PET, ceramic, metal or glass with confidence. A container made of PET plastic will have a "1" in the triangle with the letters PET below. Examples of reusable plastic bottles for cleaning your brushes with Bristle Magic are plastic milk bottles and plastic water bottles.
