First-rinse brushes in container of mineral spirits, Second-rinse in another, [3-rinse in linseed oil, 4th-rinse in clean mineral spirits,] wash in warm soap and water. I skip 3rd and 4th rinses if I am working everyday. I will do those steps when not painting for several days and also reshape them and let dry with a little conditioner or olive oil.
Seal new palettes with 2-3 coats of linseed oil before use. Either rub paint into palette or wash off with mineral spirits. I like to occasionally reapply a little linseed oil.
