What is a good paint cleaner?
Paint thinner is a good option for cleaning paint on tools, brushes, rollers, and trays. Paint strippers are your best choice for cleaning paint from surfaces like wood and metal and come in liquid and gel forms.
How do I use solvents and cleaners for paint?
Cleaners are typically used before painting to remove grease and impurities from a surface, which helps paint glide on smoother and stick to surfaces. Some cleaners can also be used as stain removers, degreasers, or to clean painting tools. Paint solvents can dissolve inks and adhesives on surfaces but can also be added in small amounts to make paint dry faster or thin it for improved coverage.
Are there any safety precautions for paint cleaners and thinners?
Various cleaners may emit dangerous fumes, so make sure you use them only in well-ventilated areas. Wearing eye protection and face masks is recommended.
