Cleaning a waterbrush is easy and fast. Best of all, you don't need a separate container of water to do so.

To clean a waterbrush, start by wiping off any excess paint on a tissue or cloth (Photo 1). Then squeeze the water reservoir so some water runs into the bristles (Photo 2). Wipe the bristles again (Photo 3). Repeat a couple of times, and your waterbrush will be clean (Photo 4).
