Question: How do I get rid of that really bad smell from paint brushes!.!.!.!?
It's that vomit-like smell from leaving them in water too long, and it's on quite a few of my paint brushes!. I've soaked them in paint cleaners, washed them with soap and water, let them air-out, sprayed them with Febreeze!.!.!.I'm just wondering if anyone knows any methods for de-stinking them!.

Any help is appreciated!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Try soaking them in a solution of baking soda--2-3 tablespoons in a cup of water overnight and rinse thoroughly the next day!.

To prevent this from happening in the future-- clean your brushes after using and never soak them for extended periods!.
