We’ve already talked about different ways how to clean brushes fro oil paints. Most ways are either toxic, or messy, or both. Elena, RUSART’s owner, is very sensitive to turpentines and solvents. Even a short exposure to those chemicals “rewards” her with sever headaches that last a day or two. Working mostly with oil paints, Elena developed a very simple and efficient formula for cleaning brushes – RUSART Naturals Oil Brush Cleanser.
Just three simple natural ingredients:
- Lemon essential oil
- MCT coconut oil
- Glycerin
Mixed in right proportion, they provide amazing results. This all natural medium cleans your oil brushes in seconds and keeps them soft, flexible, as if they are brand new. It’s a cleanser and conditioner at the same time.
We recommend to use gloves while cleaning, as lemon oil (as well as many citrus natural oils) applied on skin and exposed to the sun may form pigmentation in your skin.
