I wash my brushes in good old water with a small drop of detergent or soap added. I store them bristles upwards. After a while the ferule gets clogged with dried paint at which point (pun) I put them in brush restorer until the bristles are free of the clog, then rinse them in water. For priming and varnishing I try to use cheap or old brushes. I also have about 10-15 brushes on the go so they do get rotated a lot.
