Cleaning & hygiene

Remove color before it dries or cures, using the cleaner recommended for that medium and brush. Keep the ferrule and handle out of prolonged soaking, reshape the bristles, and follow the brush maker’s hygiene instructions.

Storage & care

Protect the bristles from bending and dust. Store gel brushes covered and away from curing lamps or sunlight; keep brushes for different product systems separate.
