Marcus,
Most varnishes can be removed with a good solvent such as mineral spirits. Clean with mineral spirits first, perhaps with a change or two of the solvent, then use your normal soapy brush cleaner for final conditioning. This routine will keep your varnish brushes going for years without the stickyness.
