FAQs

Can Bartoline Clean Spirit be used to thin oil-based paints?

No, Bartoline Clean Spirit is specifically designed for cleaning and is not suitable for thinning oil-based paints.

Is Bartoline Clean Spirit safe to use indoors?

Yes, it is designed to be non-hazardous, non-flammable, and virtually odourless, making it safer for indoor use compared to traditional solvents. Ensure good ventilation as with any cleaning product.

How should I clean paint spills from carpets?

Test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Pour a quantity of Clean Spirit directly onto the affected area and rub vigorously until the paint is removed. Rinse with clean water afterwards.

Will Bartoline Clean Spirit dry out my paint brushes?

No, the product contains a conditioning agent that is designed to leave brushes soft and supple after cleaning.

How long can I leave brushes soaking in Bartoline Clean Spirit?

For heavily coated items, you can leave them to soak in fresh Clean Spirit for up to 15 minutes after initial cleaning. Agitate and repeat the cleaning process afterwards.

What should I do if I need medical advice after using the product?

If medical advice is needed, have the product container or label readily available to show to a medical professional.

Are the ingredients in Bartoline Clean Spirit environmentally friendly?

Yes, the product contains biodegradable ingredients and has low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) components, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

Troubleshooting

Paint not fully removed from brushes/rollers.

Ensure as much paint as possible was removed before using Clean Spirit. Try soaking the item in fresh Clean Spirit for up to 15 minutes after the initial cleaning, then agitate and repeat the cleaning process. Use fresh cleaner for each stage.

Residue left on hard surfaces after cleaning spills.

Apply a generous quantity of Clean Spirit onto a clean cloth and wipe the surface thoroughly. Always follow up with a rinse using clean water and dry the surface.

Colour fastness concern on textiles.

Always test Clean Spirit on a small, hidden patch of the fabric first to ensure it does not affect the colour before applying it to the main stain.

Product does not effectively remove very old or dried-on paint.

For extremely stubborn or dried-on paint, Clean Spirit may be less effective. Consider alternative methods or repeat applications with longer soaking times, while being mindful of not leaving items to soak for excessive periods.
