    I wash my makeup brushes in an antibiotic dishwashing liquid. Wet your brushes completely, pour a little of the dishwashing liquid over them while holding them in your fingers and squeeze and move the brush quickly over some of the soap in the palm of your hand for about 2 minutes. Rinse WELL with the hottest water you can stand and squeeze water out of brushes, shaping them as you squeeze. I let mine dry standing up in a small glass in the sunshine. This way, you have killed any microbes left in the brushes.
