Troubleshooting
Paint is difficult to remove after drying
Soak the kettle in warm, soapy water for a short period before attempting to clean. Use a soft brush or sponge. For stubborn residue, a plastic scraper can be used carefully, avoiding gouging the material.
Kettle has a slight odor
Wood pulp can sometimes retain faint odors. Air the kettle out in a well-ventilated area or wash thoroughly with mild soap and water. A baking soda paste can also help neutralize odors if applied and then rinsed off.
Material feels slightly rough after cleaning
This is normal for wood pulp. Ensure you are not using abrasive cleaning tools. Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth or sponge will maintain the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. The LickTools Wood Pulp Paint Kettle is ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This kettle is compatible with most common household paints, including latex, acrylic, and water-based paints. It is not recommended for use with harsh solvents or industrial-grade chemicals that could degrade the wood pulp material.
Care: To ensure longevity and reusability, clean the kettle immediately after each use. Rinse with warm water. For dried paint, a soft brush or scraper can be used gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the wood pulp surface. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
