Our soft scrub brushes in out basins are made up of hundreds of extra soft tiny nylon fibers. They will never damage your brush! They "give" when you are scrubbing your brush over them removing all the paint right up to the ferrules!

NOTE: These are not nail brushes, they are longer and softer than any brush you can buy. We tried the nail brushes before finding these and they did not work, they were too short and we saw damage on the bristles after just a few cleanings.

Imitation Cleaning Brush

Compare this cheap "imitation" we found, it has shorter, harsher bristles that are not place close to one another. This lets the bristles in your expensive brushes fall through the cleaning filaments and rub on the bottom causing damage to your brush! Unlike our soft brush which we use in our basin, these don't move when you run the brush bristles across them causing friction. They are good for cleaning the mud off your shoes but not the paint out of your brush.

Plastic Ridges.....who would design these!

 

These hard ridges will wear your beautiful brushes down to nubs!

Who would design these is a good question!

The answer is............. Brush Companies!

 So you are probably asking yourself why do the brush companies make these?

Interesting thought isn't it?  We put our trust in them because they make the brushes we use. They tell us that the ridges will not damage our brushes but will keep them like new!

WRONG!

In all honesty they don't want our brushes to last a long time otherwise they would go out of business so it makes perfect sense to sell a basin that will eventually wear out the very brushes they sell!

 If they made Sharon's brush basin they would stop selling so many brushes!

THIS IS THE SOFT STOKE BRUSH WE USE, THEY ARE IMPORTED FOR US AND US ALONE!. THE BRISTLES ARE CLOSE TOGETHER AND LONG ENOUGH SO THEY WON'T DAMAGE YOUR BRUSHES, NEVER!

Look how delicate our cleaning brushes are! They "give" as you run your art brushes over the tiny cleaning filaments gently removing all the paint!

This is our soft, soft brush!

Tired of replacing your favorite expensive  brushes?

 

How the brush was developed.

In the early  90's Sharon got so tired of seeing her favorite brushes end up looking all worn out and frayed and having to buy new ones that she started looking for a way to solve her problem, after many, many tries she finally got the right one! She found our soft cleaning brushes and started using them to clean with. Her brushes never looked so good!

Eventually she developed her studio basin with 3 separate compartments. Two with specialty imported, delicate, soft cleaning brushes in the bottom to thoroughly clean all the paint from your brushes. One compartment for clean water only so you always have that at hand.

Simply swish your brush over the tiny cleaning bristles and watch your dirty brush come out like new! You can paint all day and never change your water. The paint collects in the bottom by the cleaning brushes. So the water stays fresher, longer.

You will see your brushes come out cleaner and in better condition than you ever experienced!

 

Sharon's basin is the best way to clean your brushes and keep them in good shape at the same time saving you money!

The soft bristles will NEVER damage your brushes. They will gently remove all of the paint from your brushes and keep them like new.

It is simply the best on the market!~

 

Watch this short video to see how our basin works!

 

Instructions for use

Before you use your basin rinse with cool water to remove any particles left by manufacturing process.

WARNING:

Our glue is especially designed to work with the composition of the plastic.

NEVER:

*USE WARM OR HOT WATER IN BASIN

*LEAVE WATER SITTING IN BASIN WHEN NOT IN USE

*STORE IN EXCESSIVELY WARM AREA LIKE CAR TRUNK

Heat causes the cleaning brushes to come loose and once they do it is very hard to re-glue them. If they do try re-gluing them with a epoxy glue that is waterproof.

 

When you are finished painting for the day Let the basin  drain upside down  do not let it sit with water for days on end.

To clean your basin, soak in cleaner 409, Hand Sanitizer or Alcohol overnight. For oils soak in Turpenoid Natural. Then use an old brush to scrub between the soft scrub bristles. Scrub the sides of the basin with a little bit of cleanser, rinse thoroughly with cold water.

The Soft Scrub Bristles will stain, but they will keep working. You can use a bit of cleanser or hand sanitizer on them to remove most of the "gunk".

Painting with Acrylics

Fill each compartment with COLD water. Reserve the small compartment without the Soft Scrub Bristles for your clean water source.

To clean your brush gently swish the brush against the Soft Scrub Bristles in the small compartment first to remove most of the color and then repeat this in the large compartment to remove the remaining paint. You will now have a clean brush ready for the next color.

If you forget and leave your brush in the basin the Soft Scrub Bristles will support your brush bristles so they won’t end up bent and out of shape.

CLEANING YOUR BRUSHES AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED PAINTING

Empty all the dirty water out of the basin and place it in the sink with the larger compartment directly under the faucet. Let COLD water run continuously in this compartment. Fill the small area with the bristles, with Cold water and a small amount of  mild dish detergent.

Swish your dirty brush in the soapy solution first and then rinse in the large compartment under the running water. It is not necessary to use a lot of force, just gently scrub your brush across the cleaning bristles.  Repeat this 2-3 time until your brush is completely clean.

Re-shape your brush and lay flat to dry on paper towel, never put in it in a container on it's end as the water will run down  into the bristles and the handle will come loose.

To test to see if your brush is clean, apply a small amount of soap in the palm of your and gently work into the bristles, squeeze it at the ferrule, if the suds are clear you brush is clean.

Painting with Oils

If you are using it for oil paints NEVER use any substance like Regular Turpenoid or turpentine in the basin. You can only use an oil cleaner like Canola Oil Or Turpenoid Natural. Once you have finished you can drain off the cleaner and let it stand in a bottle until the paint sediment settles on the bottom, then you can carefully pour it off and re-use  it. Canola oil is one of the best and safest cleaners you can use. Clean your brushes basin the same way as you would do for acrylics.
