Green Piece® Paint Brush Cleaner and Restorer for Art Paint Brushes - 100% Natural - Non-Toxic - Wet or Dry Paint - No Chemicals - Oil or Acrylic Paints, Wood and Metal - Amazing Power - 18 Oz

I did not know that such a product existed! I searched for turpentine to clean my oil paint brushes and bought this thinking it was just that. When I poured it this soapy, lathery looking liquid came out and I thought I did something wrong. Then I read the bottle and realised it was not turpentine but says will still clean the palette and brushes. I was so skeptical. But it cleaned it so easily, much better than turpentine in fact. And the fact that you only need to use a little per cleaning is a bonus. It smells so nice too. I have pets and a small house so I was pretty worried about filling the air with the smell of turpentine but this was a game changer. Price is good. Easy to use.

I love this product. Cleans my brushes really well with no overwhelming chemical smell or harshness to my hands. The orange smell is pleasant.

First, the odor:Some reviewers complain about an offensive odor. If you do not like the odor of citrus then you will find this product offensive. I do not mind the odor of citrus but will say that if you use this product in a small room it does get overwhelming but you can limit this by disposing your clean up rags right away. If you leave your rags out and leave the product open to the air the odor will overwhelm the room and eventually give you a headache.Second, the cleaning aspect of it:My daughter had oil paints dried up on her brushes and thought we would need to throw them away but this cleaner quickly removed the paint so it works great, just need to not leave any of this product stay exposed to the air around you.Third, does the container leak?:Right from the get-go taking this product out of the shipping box you will smell citrus. It came in a sealed baggie but still smelled citrus so your immediate thought is that the container is leaking. There is no glued-on seal on the bottle, it has a plastic plug inserted into the mouth and then a threaded cap to hold the plug in place. It just looks to me that when these containers are filled that not every drop gets into the bottle and some residue gets on the side of the bottle soaking the label. This odor eventually went away after I aired out the container. If you squeeze the bottle no liquid comes out so the bottle does seal.Conclusion:I would highly recommend limiting this product for cleaning and reviving old paint caked brushes or in-between cleaning of oil paints. There are other good cleaners out there for acrylics where you don't need to deal with the citrus odor if citrus offends you. I've never used a cleaner that dissolves paint so quickly of the bristles and paint handles. and it is a green cleaner to boot.For those of you wondering, the bottle is 5" high x 1-3/4" x 4" wide and it is filled to about a half inch below the top. This is still a lot of cleaner for artist brushes and will last a long time.

Fantastic product. As effective as paint thinner and alcohol, but GREEN, GENTLE ON BRUSHES, GENTLE ON HANDS. I am ordering four more bottles.

I bought this for my Freind who is an artist but she didn’t like it

It’s smaller than I expected but I didn’t carefully read the description. It smells great and works effectively. I use it to clean all of my art supplies. The positive affirmations and messages in the bottle gave me a giggle. “Good vibes” all around.

I finally broke out my oil paints and brushes today, knowing this would deliver. It arrived just as I finished painting. A couple things to say..1. This is utterly ineffective for oil paints. It can't even clean the oil paint off it's own bottle after I splashed a little while trying to clean my brushes. I ended up using ENTIRELY just dish soap for the actual cleaning of my brushes, and a touch of this stuff for softness. THIS DOES NOT CLEAN OIL PAINT.2. The jug design is terrible. As soon as you tilt it a little to try to pour some, it just spills and dribbles down the side of the bottle. It needs some sort if spout or more ergonomic shape. I spilled more accidentally than I actually used.3. The smell.. I typically love citrus scents but this is beyond overwhelming. Maybe I could use it as a room deodorizer instead of a brush cleaner..I wanted to be eco friendly with my brush cleaner but maybe there's a reason people still use chemicals for cleaning oil paints. This just does not work. Waste of money.

I was skeptical of this product after reading reviews, but for the price compared to other non-toxic paint solvents it was worth trying. To address some of the negative reviews:1) I measured the volume of the solvent and it is 18 ounces as indicated on the bottle.2) The bag that the bottle came in did smell like the product, but the bottle was sealed and had not spilled.3) This solvent does clean oil paint from brushes. I have not had any issues after using it to clean brushes for a few weeks.4) My paint brushes are not falling apart after using this solvent..5) The solvent does have a strong citrus (orange) smell, but is not overwhelming to me in my small studio space or to others when I paint in a friend's large professional studio space.

I really enjoy this product because it not only smells good but also cleans brushes well.

I was deceived by the photo. This is a very small container. Don't be duped!
