When I rinse out my brush I rinse it out under running warm water to get rid of most of the soap. Then I fill the cup with water and swirl it around a lil bit. I then rinse it out under running water. Shake it a few times, then pat/ rub on a towel...... Maybe shake it one more time for good measure.....then place it back on it's stand to air dry. Works for me thus far.
