How should I clean brushes?

Some asked for more tips on how to clean brushes.  Inkston’s guide is here:  http://ift.tt/2ft4zBu
What tips do you have?

Before use, please rinse in warm water until soft. If the hair is out of place you can straighten it out once soft.  Excess water can be removed before painting, for example by blotting with absorbent paper.  You may also hang the brush for 10 minutes after rinsing, to dry and straighten naturally (not many people actually do this).

After use please rinse with water and leave to dry.  Don’t use solvents, just warm water.
Don’t dry in the sun.  If you have a Brush stand that’s ideal to hang the pen to dry and keep its shape.  If not, don’t panic, any dry place will do, but to preserve the brush well, please not in a jar, not in water and not in direct sunlight.  Do not put the cap back on after use, allow the brush to dry!

Do not lick or put in the mouth!  Not only is this not good for the brush, but also some paints are toxic!
