FAQs

Can I use this to clean plastic paint trays?

No, you should avoid using this cleaner on plastic surfaces as it may damage or melt the plastic.

Is this product suitable for water-based paints?

No, this cleaner is specifically formulated for oil-based paints. Water-based paints can generally be cleaned with soap and warm water.

What should I do if the cleaner gets on my skin?

Wash the affected area immediately with plenty of soap and water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Can I reuse the cleaner after using it once?

It is best practice to use fresh cleaner for each job, though you can filter out solid paint debris to extend its life for light touch-ups.

Does this cleaner have a strong odor?

Yes, as it is a solvent-based cleaner, it has a characteristic chemical odor; always use it in a well-ventilated area.

Troubleshooting

Paint remains stuck in the center of the brush

Ensure the brush is fully submerged in the cleaner and use a brush comb to agitate the bristles near the ferrule.

Brush bristles feel stiff after cleaning

Rinse the brush more thoroughly with clean water and ensure all solvent residue is removed.
