In addition to the comment below I would like to put in my 2 cents for brush spinners.

You clamp a brush into the spionner that you have cleaned, as directed below, and give it a spin. Centrifical force removes almost all of the remaining solvents. Spin the brush inside a trash can to catch the flung solvents. As the centrifical force will spread the bristles, it is also a good idea to wrap th ebrush in paper to preserve its shape.

Brush spinners should be available from any commercial paint center.
