FAQs
What type of paint is this brush best suited for?
This brush is specifically designed for use with emulsion paints on walls and ceilings. It works well with most water-based interior emulsion paints.
How do I ensure the 'no loss' bristles function effectively?
The 'no loss' bristles are engineered during manufacturing. Proper cleaning and care after each use will help maintain their integrity and prevent shedding.
Can I use this brush for oil-based paints?
While it might be used with caution, this brush is optimized for water-based emulsion paints. For oil-based paints, specific solvent-resistant brushes are typically recommended.
What is the benefit of the 75mm width?
The 75mm width allows for faster coverage of large areas like walls and ceilings, making your painting projects more efficient.
How often should I clean the brush?
The brush should be cleaned thoroughly immediately after each use to prevent paint from drying in the bristles, which can damage them and affect future performance.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, the Harris Ultimate Walls And Ceilings range includes other sizes such as 25mm, 38mm, 50mm, and 75mm to accommodate various painting needs.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are splayed or misshapen after use.
Ensure the brush was cleaned thoroughly and dried properly, reshaping the bristles while damp. Store bristle-side up or in a protector to maintain shape.
Paint is not being applied smoothly.
Check if the paint is too thick or if the brush is overloaded. Thin the paint slightly or remove excess paint from the brush before applying.
Minor bristle shedding occurs.
While designed to minimize shedding, very fine hairs might appear. Try to remove them carefully as you paint or after the paint has dried. Ensure bristles are not being forced against rough surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: No specific setup is required. The brush is ready for immediate use. Ensure you have adequate paint, a tray, and drop cloths before starting.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with emulsion paints on walls and ceilings. It is suitable for most interior emulsion paint formulations. For optimal results, use with water-based paints.
Care:
- Immediate Cleaning: After each use, remove excess paint by wiping the bristles on the edge of the paint container.
- Washing: Wash the brush thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Work the soap through the bristles until all paint residue is gone.
- Rinsing: Rinse with clean water until no suds remain.
- Drying: Gently shake out excess water. Reshape the bristles to their original form. Hang the brush to dry, bristle-side down if possible, or lay it flat. Avoid leaving the brush to dry standing on its bristles.
