I used to use warm water and some mild washing up liquid. Immerse the brushes and using your fingers wash out the bristles
Then leave them on radiator to dry. However now a use a fantastic product called "BRUSH OFF" which is an anti bacterial brush cleaner. You just spray on to tissue and wipe your brushes, they are clean in seconds and dry out immediately, as it evaporates in to the air. However this is quite expensive, I think it cost me £25 for 16oz bottle. But if your interested in finding out more about it try "ellisons.co.uk". I have also seen other brush cleaners at different cosmetic counters in department stores. But have to say "BRUSH OFF" is the best I've had. But as I said before Warm water and detergent works just as well but it was just a pain for me aiting on my brushes drying as I use them on clients every day.

You can wash your brushes with a mild face soap and water. Thoroughly rinse out all the soap, gently smooth brush back to its original shape, place it on a washcloth or a papertowel and allow it to dry. After it dries, just fluff it a little before using it and it should be good to go.

Well, how do you wash makeup off of your skin? Do the same for your brushes. Fill a bowl or container with makeup removers and warm, soap water. Put the brushes in there, and let them sit for about one hour, or if they're really dirty, for one day. This should do it. Good luck!

Warm water and mild soap. Then blow dry them to fluff them back up, but only half way. Then fix the bristols with your fingers the way they should be, then stand them in a cup near a window or under a almp to finish dring. If its a big fluffy brush, blow dry is completely...

In between I use "Well Cared For" by Bare Escentuals, I do this about once a month, maybe more, maybe less, depending on the month and what I have going on. It is a super product. I take a comb and gently work it in a bit more, be super gentle though!! Rinse well, and let them dry flat.
Hope this helps!!

What u need to do is go to a professional beauty shop like screen face in notting hill gate,London and there u will find a whole load of products. You can also wash them with a bit of soap and water and leave it to dry.

I am amazed at some of these answers and solutions. not one of them has mentioned antibacterial. you can use a antibacterial hand wash or washup liquid. you must always clean your brushes after every use as they collect bacteria within hours, especially mascara brushes.

Soak them in warm mildly soapy water for just a little while then air dry them hanging upside down. Make sure they dry completely otherwise they can grow bacteria.

Shampoo and then a bit of conditioner to keep them soft! Dry with a hairdryer if necessary. PS I'm assuming that you're using natural bristles!
