How to Clean Paint Brushes With Lemon Juice
- 1). Run the paintbrushes under water. This will get a lot of the paint out of the brush.
- 2). Mix one part lemon juice and two parts borax and stir it in the pan or bucket until the borax is somewhat dissolved.
- 3). Take the brush and press it into the mixture. You will want to use your hands and/or another rag to get more of the paint off of the brush as well. You will also have to dab it and press the bristles on the bottom of the pan to get the inside bristles clean. This process may take a while, but it will get your brushes clean.
- 4). Use straight lemon juice on the clean rag that you have to clean the handles of the paintbrush. Rub the lemon onto the handle and the paint should come off fairly easily.
- 5). Repeat some of these steps as needed to make sure that the brush is clean before you put it away until the next time.
