  • Cleaning oil based paint off brushes... Been googling this (fun Friday night) and... Brush as much as you can out, then white spirit. Got some white spirit now in an old tin I need to take to the recycling centre
    Didn't realise white spirit was such a faff

  • I'm sure that's the right thing to do. I give them a wipe with some wonder wipes, agitate them in some white spirit then rinse that white spirit out with water and then wash with washing up liquid and rinse again, sometimes it takes 2 dips in the white spirit sometimes a clean white spirit. If you leave it in an open container it evaporates to a solid over time.

  • Cheers. So you just bin/recycle that container it's in after its evaporated? Saves a trip to the tip
    Someone was raving about paint brush combs too when looking
