Put vinegar and dish soap in a jar and swirl around rinse in warm water and put rubber bands on how you want them to dry and let dry overnight.

I use olive oil and dish soap. Baby shampoo is another popular option.

Put baby shampoo in the palm of your hand and swirl your brush in it! You can watch YouTube videos on how to do it also!!

Mac sells a brush cleaner that I use daily, and for more thorough cleaning I use elf brush shampoo :)

It depends on bristle type a little, with my natural fibers I find they need a little conditioning, but my synthetics don't. I use Parian Spirits cleanser on the heavily pigmented brushes, I.e. foundation, lip, and some eyeshadow. The rest are washed in olive oil shampoo and hot water. I deep clean everything in Parian once and a while, but the solvents can mess with the glue holding everything together if you aren't careful. I dry mine gently with a towel, and then let them air dry on a metal rack with a couple paper towels. I reshape by hand, you don't need to buy special reshaping tools. I use beauty so clean conditioning spray to keep them soft and kill any bacteria lurking on them.

Baby shampoo and water on a plate and then clean with baby wipes and rinse.
