How can I clean my brush basin?

Cleaning water basins

here are a few suggestions for de grunging your water basins:
1. Detergent and water, in the microwave for a few minutes followed by a light scrub.
2. try bunging it in the dishwasher (I did this but still wasn't satisfied)
3. A nice hot soak in steradent tablets followed by a soapy scrub with a green scourer...a little more work but it works for me.
4. Murphy's Oil Soap, water and in the microwave. I don't have access to Murphy's so I can't verify this one.

Getting the picture here? It is heat that is doing the trick! It softens the paint so it will budge. I am not so sure it matters what you do as long as you use really hot water and a bit of elbow grease!
