After painting the furniture, if you have to paint it again within one or two days, the paint brush does not need to be cleaned with gasoline. Find an empty canned bottle, put the brush directly into the bottle, and fill it with clean water (diesel or kerosene is better) so that the water covers the brush head. When using it again, just shake off the water on the paint brush.
