How do you clean latex primer off a paint brush? will gas work?

If you want to clean latex paint off of a paint brush and the paint is still wet, simply clean it with water. Rinse until the water runs clear. Once you've done that and you want to keep your paintbrush soft and supple, simply rub the bristles up against a bar of household soap. Then, using a circular motion, rub the brush bristles in the palm of your hand to get suds. Rinse clean with water.





If however, you want to clean a paint brush that has dried latex paint on it, you're unfortunately out of luck. Dry latex paint is very hard to remove from a paint brush. You can pick it of piece by piece. Or you can try goof off! but your best bet is to just throw it away...

water is all that is needed
If the primer is still wet or semi-wet, use warm water %26amp; a lot of scrubbing!





If the primer has dried, your best bet is to throw the brush away %26amp; buy a new one.





Either way, gas is a dumb idea - it's caustic, carcinogenic, %26amp; brutal to use.
warm, soapy water should do it. if it has dried, try soaking it overnight.

You can use either acetone or denatured alcohol; both are solvents for dried latex paint and will work fine. Acetone might be a slightly better option. I have even used acetone as a thinner for latex paint. People who think you can only use water because latex is water-based are non-creative lemmings.





Dried latex paint is very easy to remove from a paint brush using acetone. Let the brush soak in the acetone for a while and the paint will dissolve right out.
