 Using
linseed oil soap is much safer than using solvents like white spirit
or turpentine to clean paintbrushes. Solvents enter the body through
your skin and damage your health. In Denmark a disease "Painter's
Dementia" is officially recognised as being caused by solvents in,
and associated with the use of alkyd (or oil) paints.
Case Study: View
step by step instructions for removing severe mildew with linseed
oil soap.
We use linseed oil liquid soap for cleaning everything - paintbrushes,
floors, work surfaces, stain removal and personal hygiene. The soap
can be used for removing mildew as well. (If you are painting on
the cleaned surface make sure the surface is completely dry first).
Applications include:
- Paint brushes and hands:
Mix soap with a little water. Work into brushes (see picture below)
and leave. Rinse with warm water; repeat if necessary
- For wooden floors:
take about 1 decilitre of the soap to a bucket of water. Scrub
and dry
- For other surfaces where dirt is ingrained:
Ovens, stoves, the car, kitchen work surfaces or stains on textiles.
Apply undiluted soap with a little water. Rub the surface and
leave. Rinse cloth with water or wash in washing machine.
