Sticky varnish brush even after washing!

Hi everyone,
I've recently started varnishing some old works which have been lying abouts for a few months now. I use Talens Matt and Glossy varnishes, and apply them on my paintings using 30% gloss - 70% matt mixture.

I realise that the varnish dries quickly, almost immediately after varnishing. That's good for the painting, but bad on my brush! I tried using detergents to soak my brush after use, but even so it's still hard and sticky even after wash. I was wondering if anyone has a good tip to share, to clean the brushes after varnishing.
