Cleaning make-up brushes

You know I'm a newbie when this is my first proper cleaning of my make-up brushes. I have only few of them, but it seriously was a pain to wash them all.

I used:

• brush cleansing spray by Essence (although picture shows their fixing spray - I realized after I took pictures)
• hand soap by Nivea
• silicone cleaning glove - bought on eBay here
• water
• paper towels

How I did it:

• spray each brush with cleansing spray - it disolves make-up and you need less time to wash it
• leave the spray to soak the brushes for about 2 minutes - brushes that have liquid/cream products leave a bit longer; brushes with powder are almost immediately ready
• wet/rinse off the brush
• swirl the wet brush on the soap bar until you see some color going off
• swirl/swipe brush on the glove until its clear
• rinse well and place on a paper towel

Do you have some other tip on cleaning brushes?
