How do I clean brushes used with enamel paint?
Enamel paint is solvent based, so trying to wash in water will not work, you need to use white spirit.
It is advisable to clean your brush as soon as you have finished painting as the brush will start to harden
and don’t leave them soaking in a jam jar overnight.
Once the brush is clean give it a further wash in some warm soapy water. This will remove any traces of white spirit and allow you to use the brush for any paint type in the future.
