I'm using vegetable oil instead of thinner these days for my softer brushes. I immerse them in the oil, rubbing them gently against the special brush cleaning screen (I think it's a Bob Ross cheapie that fits into a coffee can, but it works great) to remove paint. I wipe off the excess oil on paper towels or rags, then continue cleaning the brushes with water and hand soap, as previously described. Bristle brushes may need the OMS to remove the paint better.
