Must have brushes for clients and how Im packing them for jobs
During the current time we are in I figured I would share my favorite brushes and how I pack, and store them for clients and wedding parties to ensure everyone is safe and to make my job easier (when things open up again). Pre-COVID, I would have one brush set that I would disinfect with cinema secrets brush cleaner between each client, but to make sure I am being EXTRA safe I decided to invest in several brushes so that I have a deep cleaned set for each client ready and pre-packed. It has taken me a while to find a system that is efficient and makes my job less stressful, but I think I have it down… for now! I know this can be expensive to do, so I made sure to include budget-friendly options that I genuinely love. I hope you guys enjoy this post and find it helpful.

How I store them
Target modular bins
After each work day I will remove the brushes and place them in these bins then clean the pouches with 70% alcohol. I keep five bins, two for dirty brushes, two for clean ones to dry in, and one for the pouches/ spatulas etc..
Plastic mesh zipper pouches
Prior to each job, I use these to pre-pack each brush set per client I have. So, If I have a bridal party of 8 I will pack 8 sets of brushes, clean my brush cup with alcohol and then unzip the brushes.
