I am an artist thats allergic to white spirits?

Question

Can anyone recommend a solution for cleaning my brushes? I seem to be allergic to white spirits even the ouderless ones.

Answer 1

It may take a change in habit, but washing up liquid when the paint is still damp, will remove it satisfactorily without causing any damage. A squirt in the hand and manipulation of the brush does the trick................of course you then wash it off with warm water..............

Answer 2

"Thomasrob" is right, but even nicer is the brush soap available through Dick Blick Art Supplies. It even works on dried-out brushes...no solvents needed!
