The older scuttles stand the brush nearly upright so it doesn't fall over. I know some people say not to soak in hot water, but I have for even my high end brushes. Now, I don't soak in boiling water, just hot tap. I also don't bathe in boiling water, just hot tap.Same, still mystified. So.. you pour hot water in the bottom to soak your brush.. but I thought you shouldn't soak your brush in hot water? Or just soak the bristles? How do you balance the handle heavy brush so that it stays bristle in?
