How often do you clean your makeup brushes?

Just wondering how often people clean their brushes & what cleaning technique do you use?

I clean my kabuki brushes every two weeks usually, when I can get away without using them for a day so they can dry naturally. Bronzer brush is more like 3-4 weeks aka nowhere near enough!
Other brushes I don't use often so clean them after every use otherwise they could end up festering for a month without me realising.
All natutal brushes so I use a natural shampoo only because it's not very good on my hair and need to use it somehow, otherwise I'd use cheaper baby shampoo.

Every month with whathever shampoo I have lying around, dont forget to always dry them flat:)

whenever they look like they need it, monthly probably for bronzer/powder brushes, weekly for foundation brush. I use hand soap

I use an organic baby shampoo for a deep clean. However, wouldn't mind using something that kind of spot cleans the brushes.

I use Tesco's value baby bath. Its so mild, and gentle. I only clean mine, when looking worse for wear. I buy an Estee Lauder make-up artists collection, every few years or so, which has a fresh set of brushes in, and only use the blusher brush daily, and occasionally the powder brush. The others not so often.

i clean mine after every use which is usually every day. i use my brushes for work too so need them to be clean all the time. i usually use what is lying about really which is either shampoo or face wash

How do you get them to dry out in time for the next use?

I aim for once a week but it's more likely once a month because I just forget. I use a kids shampoo because it doesn't leave any silicones behind like adult shampoos can, I like the L'Oreal Kids Cherry Almond one, smells like bakewell tarts. The current bottle has lasted a year a half, and when it's on offer again I'll buy another one.

I'll put them on the windowsill over a radiator in the evening and give them a ruffle up before going to bed, they're dry by morning.

I haven't ever washed my brushes to be honest as I used to rarely wear makeup however I have gotten some new brushes recently so haven't washed them but I think I will aim for once a month or two depending on usage. I have elfs daily brush cleansing spray and their brush was which can be bought here:

Lay them on their side on the radiator in the winter or on a window sill in the summer.
