Product Information

Full details

Bartoline Clean Spirit is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional painters who need a safer, low-VOC alternative to harsh traditional solvents. It excels at cleaning both water-based and most oil-based paints while conditioning bristles to extend the life of your equipment. The main caveat is that, while highly effective, it requires users to always test for color fastness when applying the solution to delicate fabrics or surfaces.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on natural bristle brushes?

Yes, the conditioning agents in the formula are designed to keep various types of bristles, including natural and synthetic, soft and healthy.

Is it safe to pour down the drain?

While it is biodegradable, it is best practice to dispose of heavy paint waste according to local council regulations rather than washing large quantities of paint residue directly into the sewage system.

Does it remove all types of oil-based paints?

It is effective on most oil-based paints, but users should test a small, inconspicuous area if working with highly specialized or industrial-grade coatings.

Does this product have a shelf life?

When stored in its original container and kept in a cool place, it remains effective for a long period. Avoid freezing temperatures.

Do I need to wear gloves?

Although the formula is non-hazardous and low-VOC, it is always recommended to wear standard protective gloves if you have sensitive skin or plan to have prolonged contact with the liquid.

Troubleshooting

Paint not coming off completely

Ensure the equipment was not left to dry for too long. If paint has hardened, allow the brush to soak in the solution for a longer duration before agitating.

Residue left on fabric

Rinse the affected area thoroughly with clean water multiple times and blot with a dry cloth until no more pigment transfers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No complex setup is required for Bartoline Clean Spirit. Simply pour the necessary amount into a jar or container large enough to accommodate your brush or roller. Because the product is biodegradable, store it in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures to maintain its chemical integrity. Always replace the cap tightly after use. Before using on carpets, curtains, or upholstery, apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area to ensure the product does not affect the fabric dye. Do not mix with other solvent-based cleaners to avoid chemical reactions.
