around the house? paint thinner, gas,( be very careful) if they are dried solid just toss and get new ones.

Mineral spirits will do the trick. Its quick, easy and cheap. Just put a little on a rag and scrub. Or, if its a lot of paint, fill an old coffee can 1/3 full with mineral spirits and soak the brushes in there overnight.

Don’t know what you have around the house, but Mineral Spirits will probably work well.

considering the price between new brushes and paint brush cleaner i would not bother.
