If you are looking for an easy way to remove polish build-up, there is a simple solution that you might have not thought about.
Simply mix 1/2 cup of vinegar and 1/2 cup of water in a bowl. Rub with a soft cloth that has been moistened with this mixture. Make sure that it is damp and wrung out. You will then want to dry immediately with another soft cloth.

Cleaning Artificial Flowers
Do you have some artificial flowers that you would like to clean?
What you can do is get a large paper bag and place the flowers in the bag. Then pour some salt in the bag and shake vigorously. You won't think the salt is soiled but try running some water on it!

How To Clean Paint Brushes
If you have hard paint on your paint brush, you can clean your paint brush by soaking it in hot vinegar. You then should follow with washing them in warm, sudsy water.
After washing your paint brushes and your rollers, you can also use a fabric softener in the final rinse water to help them stay soft and pliable.
You can also try using a coffee can with paint thinner. After your brushes have been cleaned, cover the can and wait for a few days. The paint from the brushes will settle to the bottom of the can. You then can pour the clean thinner into a new can and re-use.
