Paint brushes will last a long time if they are cleaned in linseed oil. Then wash them well in warm soapy water. Rinse all the soap out, and then leave them in clean cold water for a few minutes. Straighten out the hairs, and dry by pressing with a clean cloth.

Add washing blue to the water for cleaning windows and it will make them bright and clear.
