We all know how important it is to properly clean our paintbrushes, but do you pay attention to where you do so? For the majority of us, the most instinctive place is the sink, where hard-wearing porcelain allows you to quickly rinse your brushes while also minimizing mess. According to experts, however, that's the last place you should turn.
Surprised? We were, too. I'll be the first to admit that it's exactly what I've been doing for years. Frankly, we're proud of you for going through the effort of washing those brushes in the first place. After spending hours redecorating or perfecting that DIY project, mustering up the courage to clean up afterward is commendable - the task it's an entire mission in itself. Of course, the first place you're going to turn to is the sink. But, as it turns out, doing so not only risks damaging your septic system but can also pollute your groundwater supply, too.
