Brush Cleaner - 118ml

Winsor & Newton

$14.99

In stock Low stock Unavailable

A new and improved formula! Winsor & Newton Brush Cleaner provides gentle cleaning power that will not damage brushes or other artist tools (like painting knives or palettes), yet effectively and thoroughly removes oil and acrylic paints.

This new formula consists of a soap base, which foams a little when scrubbed. It can be used on all brushes and all colours, and will not damage synthetic or natural hair. Oil, alkyd and acrylic paints, as well as paint mediums, are effectively softened and easily removed from paint.

How to use

Use the Brush Cleaner after you've finished painting. Dip your brush into the liquid and scrub a little if necessary. The resulting foam will help rinse the pigments and binders out of the brush. Then, wipe the brush with a cloth and rinse a little with water. If the brush if very clogged, it may be necessary to soak it in the cleaner for a longer period of time, possibly overnight. After every cleaning, bring the brush head back to its original shape and allow to dry. Avoid contact with varnishes or lacquered surfaces, such as brush handles, as the cleaner will also soften these.

Solvents & Thinners: Essential Products for Paint and Studio Work

Solvents are a fundamental part of many artistic practices. Used to thin paint, clean brushes, degrease surfaces and create blending effects, they give artists control over their materials at every stage. DeSerres carries a selection of solvents and thinners suited to oil painting, mixed media and general studio maintenance, including turpentine, mineral spirits and low-odour alternatives for safer use in enclosed spaces.

Choosing the Right Solvent for Your Practice

Turpentine is the traditional solvent for oil painting, offering strong thinning power and good compatibility with most oil mediums. Mineral spirits are a more affordable alternative with a milder odour, suitable for thinning paint and cleaning brushes. Odourless solvents are ideal for studio use where ventilation is limited, providing effective thinning with significantly reduced fumes. Isopropyl alcohol is commonly used for cleaning tools, removing ink and creating blending effects in mixed media work. Always use solvents in a well-ventilated space and follow safe disposal guidelines. Explore our Oil Paint, Oil Mediums and our full Mediums, Varnishes & Resins collection for more options.
