The Bartoline Clean Spirit is designed for painters and decorators looking for a safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional white spirit. Its key benefit is effectively cleaning water-based and most oil-based paint from tools without harsh fumes or flammability risks, though it is not suitable for thinning oil-based paints.

No, Bartoline Clean Spirit is not suitable for thinning oil-based paints. It is designed purely as a cleaner for paint and tools.
Dispose of used product and contaminated materials according to local regulations for household chemical waste. Do not pour down drains.
Yes, it is virtually odourless and non-flammable, making it much safer for indoor use compared to traditional solvents like white spirit.
Remove excess paint, immerse the brush in Clean Spirit, work it in, remove, and rub thoroughly with a cloth. Repeat with fresh Clean Spirit as needed. For stubborn paint, soak for up to 15 minutes.
It is recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous patch first for colour fastness. While effective for cleaning paint spills, vigorous rubbing could affect delicate fabrics.
The main advantages are its water-based, low VOC, non-hazardous, virtually odourless, and non-flammable properties, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly option.
You can reuse the Clean Spirit if the paint residue settles to the bottom of the container. Carefully decant the cleaner liquid off the sediment for reuse.
For brushes, rollers, or pads, repeat the cleaning process using fresh Clean Spirit. For heavily coated items, allow them to soak in fresh Clean Spirit for up to 15 minutes before agitating and repeating the cleaning steps.
Ensure you have tested a small patch for colour fastness. Apply a generous quantity of Clean Spirit directly to the affected area and rub vigorously. Follow up with rinsing or washing with clean water. Repeat application if necessary.
This is unusual as the product contains a conditioning agent. Ensure you are using sufficient Clean Spirit and working it through the bristles thoroughly. Rinsing with clean water after the primary cleaning may also help, followed by drying.
Verify the paint type. While effective on most oil-based paints, some highly specialized or industrial coatings may require different cleaning agents. Always refer to the paint manufacturer's recommendations if unsure.
Setup: Bartoline Clean Spirit is ready to use directly from the container. Ensure you have suitable containers for soaking brushes and rollers, as well as clean cloths or wipes. Wear gloves when handling the product, especially for prolonged contact or when cleaning heavily soiled items.
Compatibility: This product is designed for cleaning water-based and most oil-based paints from brushes, rollers, paint pads, and for cleaning up paint spills. It is not suitable for thinning oil-based paints. Always test on an inconspicuous area of textiles before general use to check for colour fastness.
Care: Store the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep out of reach of children. If medical advice is needed, have the product container or label available.
