How do I prepare the brushes before the very first use?

Before the first use, gently wash the brushes with lukewarm water and mild soap. Squeeze out loose fibers or manufacturing residue and allow them to air dry completely.

What is the best way to clean the brushes after painting?

What types of surfaces can I paint with these brushes?

These brushes are versatile and suitable for wood, metal, plastic, parquet floors, furniture, doors, fences, patios, stairs, and carports.

How should I store the brushes to keep them in good condition?

Store the brushes in a clean, dry place with the bristles facing upwards or hanging. Avoid storing them flat or with heavy objects on top, which can deform the bristles.

What does '90% tops' refer to in the bristle description?

'90% tops' refers to the quality of the bristles, indicating that 90% of the bristles are the longest part, which contributes to a smoother, higher-quality finish.

Troubleshooting

Bristles are shedding excessively

Ensure the brush was properly cleaned before first use and that all loose manufacturing fibers were removed. After use, always wash thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. Gentle handling during painting can also minimize shedding.

Uneven paint application or streaks

This can be due to insufficient paint on the brush, or the paint drying too quickly. Ensure the brush is adequately loaded with paint and maintain a consistent, fluid motion. Clean the brush thoroughly if paint has dried within the bristles.

Brush becomes stiff or unusable after cleaning

Ensure you are using lukewarm water and mild soap. Harsh chemicals or very hot water can damage the bristles. Always rinse thoroughly and reshape the bristles before air drying. Avoid drying with heat.

Paint is difficult to remove from bristles

For water-based paints, wash immediately with soap and water. For oil-based paints or varnishes, use the appropriate solvent as recommended by the paint manufacturer, followed by soap and water. Do not let paint dry in the bristles.
