Review on Revitalize Your Brushes with Winsor & Newton Brush Cleaner & Restorer - 4 oz. Bottle by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A small amount is all you need. Excellent for dry acrylic paint. Almost odorless!

>. I use this in very small amounts, usually 10ml or less. It works wonders for removing dried acrylic paint from many surfaces. It seems to work with fabric, albeit not as carefully as brushes. After washing and machine drying, I can reduce the color on the fabric, but I cannot remove it completely. I suspect that the dissolved dye gets into the fibers and stays there.>. BUT, fresh paint on fabric, dried paint, but not previously washed and machine dried, the paint completely dissolved, and by putting a cotton swab under the paint and using a cotton swab applicator with this solvent, got the paint between the cotton and the applicator leaves the fabric free of paint! EXCELLENT!>. Also, I removed all the paint from some rocks I painted and wasn't satisfied. I covered the dried paint on the stone with a paper towel, poured a very small amount of product onto the stone and let it sit for several hours. Then I used a plastic scraper to scrape the paint down to the surface of the stone so I could reuse the stone.>. As much as I hate to admit it, I don't always wash my brushes thoroughly. I compensate for these brushes by putting a small amount of this cleaner in a small plastic jar, let the brush(es) soak overnight, then remove them to the sink for a thorough cleaning. Paint has collected where the bristles are pinched by the metal tip Now ready to loosen whatever paint that was there. Dip, wait, peel; very easy and very easy.
