Paint Brush Cleaner

[crosspatch65]

Recently painted radiators but am finding it very hard to clean the paint brushes, any suggestion please. Have tried white spirits but not much success. Thank you.

white spirit followed by hot soapy water

what does it suggest on the paint can?

[ivor4781]

depends on what paint you have used if it's hammerite you cant get that off brushes, well i couldn't, just threw them out

Cellulose thinners, Crosspatch. Used by car-sprayers.

Or, "Hammerite" thinners.

I find the those labelled "brush cleaner" work better than the basic white spirit / turps / whatever.

I find putting them in the bin and buying a new batch works really well. Life's too short and paintbrushes aren't dear unless you want them to be.

[Old_Geezer]

Throw away society eh ? ;-p

Don't use Homebase & the likes thinners, they are rubbish.

Thankyou for your suggestions, trying white spirit followed with hot soapy water seems promising!! Thankyou everybody. Patch
