how I clean my brushes

Hy all :) I just learned a few months ago how it's best and most sufficient to clean my brushes. Before I would just hold them under water in like 3 times or twice a year. I know...that is really naughty.
But now I know, they need a little warm water with soap or shower gel, a lot of swirling and time to dry.
My brushes aren't so expensive so I don't do anything extra to them because I know I have to change them from time to time.

How do you clean your brushes? And what kind of brushes do you like to use?
