Paint thinners can emit toxic fumes and cause chemical burns if it gets on your skin. Wear protective rubber gloves and a face mask to avoid exposing yourself to the chemicals. Work in a well-ventilated area so the fumes don’t build up in the room.  Open a window or turn on a fan to increase air circulation in the room. Consider cleaning the brushes outside to reduce the risk of exposure. Shake off the excess water from the brush then use a paper towel or a clean rag to dab the bristles dry. The brush doesn’t need to be completely dry, but it shouldn’t be sopping wet.  Storing a waterlogged brush can cause the bristles to crack. Dab the bristles gently. Don’t bend or warp them when you dry them.
