Product Information

Full details

The TIMCO Paint Brush Cleaner is a professional-grade, solvent-based solution designed for trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable way to remove wet household paints and varnishes from their brushes, rollers, and pads. Its primary benefit is the ability to restore tools to near-new condition through powerful emulsifiers, though it is specifically formulated for wet paint and may be less effective on fully cured or dried-on industrial coatings.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used on synthetic bristles?

Yes, the formula is designed to be safe for traditional synthetic bristles and natural fibers alike.

Is it safe for my rollers?

Yes, it is perfectly suitable for cleaning roller sleeves and decorating pads.

Do I need to wash the brush with water after using this?

Yes, it is recommended to give your tools a final rinse with clean water after the initial cleaning process.

Can I reuse the liquid once I have cleaned a brush?

While you can reuse the solution for a few brushes, its effectiveness will decrease as it becomes saturated with paint residue.

Is this cleaner suitable for oil-based paints?

Yes, the solvent-based nature of this cleaner is effective for traditional one-part paints, including many oil-based varieties.

How long will a 500ml bottle last?

Longevity depends on the volume of paint and the size of your tools, but it is formulated for multiple cleaning cycles.

Troubleshooting

Paint residue remains on bristles

Ensure the brush was submerged deeply enough and agitate more vigorously to allow the emulsifiers to penetrate the base of the ferrule.

Solution appears cloudy or milky

This is normal; it indicates that the cleaner is successfully emulsifying the paint residue into the solution.

Cleaning agent not removing paint

Check if the paint is already fully cured; this cleaner is specifically designed for wet or tacky paint and may not dissolve hardened dried layers.

Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation.
