Holbein - Brush Cleaner
Brush Cleaner
Preserve brush integrity with gentle, odorless formula for water oils
Traditional soap-and-water cleaning leaves oil brushes stiff and brittle over time. Holbein Brush Cleaner takes a gentler approach, using a mild, non-flammable formula that dissolves paint without degrading natural bristles or synthetic filaments. Originally developed for Holbein's Duo Aqua water-soluble oils, it works equally well across acrylic and watercolor, making it practical for mixed-media painters who move between techniques.
The odorless formula eliminates the harsh solvent smell that lingers in studios, while still breaking down pigment thoroughly. Brushes rinse clean without the residue buildup that soap leaves behind, maintaining their original spring and point. This protection extends brush life significantly, bristles stay supple and responsive rather than becoming brittle and splayed.
Works with traditional oils too, though those brushes need complete drying before reuse. For water-based media, cleaning is immediate and straightforward. One bottle handles your entire brush collection regardless of what you're painting that day, eliminating the need for separate cleaners for different paint types.
