Whats the most effective way of cleaning make up brushes?

tipsss %26amp; tricks on what to clean with/how and how to reduce drying time please? thanksss :]Whats the most effective way of cleaning make up brushes?
If you want a quick clean, use a brush cleanser or baby wipe. If using brush cleanser, pour a little onto a towel and light rub the brushes onto the wet part. They will dry fairly quickly. If you are using a baby wipe, do the same process except for pouring on brush cleanser. For a deep clean, use a mild baby soap, such a Johnson. Pour a small ammount onto your wet palm and a little more vigorously scrub the brush in your hand. Thoroughly rinse and let air dry. To help the bristles retain their shape, wrap them in toilet paper while wet to help them not to dry all weird. I would quickly clean your brush after every other time you use it. If you do this, you should deep clean them once every one to two weeks, depending on how often you use it. I hope this helped.%26lt;3Whats the most effective way of cleaning make up brushes?
The best way to clean makeup brushes and keep them lasting for a long time is to at the very least clean them once a month.





A good and also very cheap product for this is baby shampoo. Put a small dab of it on your palm, gently wet your brush in cool water, and swirl it softly in the shampoo until it's thoroughly cleaned. Then rinse it out, reshape it with your fingers, and lay it flat to dry, either on a clean towel or off the edge of a dresser or table.





Make sure not to stand the brush up so that water drips down the handle and metal bit that holds the hairs. This will cause the glue to break down over time causing the brush to fall off the handle.





MAC also makes a good brush cleaner. ';This one product will clean, disinfect and condition the brush fibers so that brushes will last longer. It is convenient to use and is specifically designed to extend the life of high quality brushes. Brush Cleanser leaves your brushes smelling fresh and clean, and helps shorten their drying time.';





I use baby shampoo most of the time and occasionally then every month or two I follow up with the MAC cleaner afterward to make sure the brushes are very clean and disinfected.





I hope this helped! :)
I soak mine in hot water/ivory liquid mixture for 15 min. or so, swirling them around occassionally. Then I rinse well with warm water, towel dry and shape, then let set handle side down in a glass to air dry completely.
gently wash them with shampoo and air dry keep a fan in the room, but NOT directly next to them
