I used to clean mine just using either hand-soap or shampoo, but I was never really happy with it. I then came across Lisa's blog through HelloCotton, and think this is such a good way to clean your brushes.
So here is the post:

I can definitely tell that the oil is conditioning my brushes and they come back squeaky clean. I would say make sure you rinse all of the mixture off properly, as it can be easy to miss bits and your brushes won't be as soft. Also I find it best to clean my bigger brushes first.
Finally I thought I'd show you a before and after of my brushes to show you that it works:
My brushes aren't completely dry in the last photo, but this was the best time to get a picture, as I knew I wouldn't have enough time before I used them again.
I like to wash my brushes at night and leave them on the radiator to dry.
I never realised how important it is to wash your brushes, but it really is. It helps stop breakouts, and helps your brushes last longer too.
I wash my big brushes twice a week and my little brushes just the once.
Have you got any brush cleaning tips?
