Frequently Asked Questions

How to clean paint brushes
To clean paint brushes, you can use solvent to remove the paint immediately after use. To clean brushes using solvent, you will need the appropriate solvent, a paper towel, gloves, and an old cup. Try to remove as much paint as you can from your paint brush by brushing it along an old rag or paper towel. Then, pour a little solvent into your chosen cup, bowl, or bucket. Place your paint brush into your solvent. Begin by swirling and moving your brush back and forth in the solvent and continue until all the paint has been removed. Once your paint brush has been cleaned, rinse any remaining solvent off by running your paint brush under water. Reshape your paint brush bristles and store until you’re ready to paint again. Let your brush dry.
