What can be used to clean gloss off brushes instead of white spirit?

Instead of white spirit, you can use mineral spirits or odorless mineral spirits to clean gloss off brushes. Additionally, vegetable oil or a mixture of soap and warm water can effectively break down paint residue. For water-based paints, simply rinsing with warm soapy water is often sufficient. Always ensure to thoroughly rinse and dry brushes after cleaning to maintain their quality.
