### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ White spirit
*by A***E on 3 October 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value for money
*by P***N on 19 October 2023*

Been doing some painting. This is perfect for cleaning brushes and any minor mistakes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’d recommend caution
*by M***O on 10 November 2024*

This product is really good to clean your brushes and containers after painting however when I mixed it with oil based paint it didn’t work well I guess you have to find the right ratio because the way I did it I probably had it too much so it didn’t work very well and I wasted the paint. I would not recommend it to mix With oil-based paint. For all the rest, go really help me clean my carpet container some brushes. This is a little bit unpleasant by the way, but I get this product all smelled like that. Really good value for money
