Rosemary & Co Brush Cleaner & Conditioner 100ml
Rosemary & Co Brush Cleaner & Conditioner 100ml [SKU: ______]
A gentle, water-based way to clean and condition your brushes — without the harsh solvents that quietly wear good brushes out. Rosemary & Co built this as a bio-based cleaner and conditioner: it lifts paint while looking after the hair, rather than stripping and drying it.
Why painters reach for it
💧 Water-based formula — no mineral spirits, no harsh solvents.
🔥 Non-flammable & free from toxic hydrocarbons — friendlier for home studios and small spaces.
🖌️ Cleans and conditions in one step — looks after natural hair and synthetic fibres.
🎨 Handy for quick colour changes mid-session, including plein air work.
♻️ Green-chemistry, bio-based approach for a more sustainable brush-care routine.
About this cleaner
Rosemary & Co openly advise against mineral spirits and similar solvents for brush care, describing them as one of the quickest ways to ruin a good brush. This is their answer to that: low-odour, non-flammable, and free from toxic hydrocarbons, so it's a sensible choice if you paint indoors, in a shared space, or simply want fewer fumes around your bench.
It suits painters who invest in better brushes — kolinsky sable, premium synthetics — and want them to last. Think of it as part of a brush-care routine, not a miracle in a bottle.
Who it's for
Oil painters — its strongest use. Great for quick colour switching at the easel and out on location, especially if you want to cut down on solvent use.
Watercolourists — a gentle clean plus conditioning to keep natural-hair brushes supple.
Miniature & acrylic painters — most useful as occasional care for your better brushes. Day-to-day acrylic clean-up is usually fine with just water and soap; this is for looking after your premium kit.
How to use & pro tips
👉 Wipe excess paint off the brush first.
👉 Dip into the cleaner, then wipe on a cloth or paper towel.
👉 A quick final wipe to clear any residue, and you're back to painting.
👉 Reshape the brush head before it dries — never store a wet brush airtight.
👉 Condition natural hair from time to time to keep it in shape.
👉 Tip: oil paint formulas vary by maker, so do a quick test with your usual oil brand before relying on it for mid-painting colour changes.
Worth knowing
It's a cleaner and conditioner — not an automatic replacement for a proper end-of-session wash-up. Treat it as part of your routine, not the whole of it.
It won't rescue brushes that are already splayed or damaged — no cleaner can do that.
Rosemary & Co report no adverse effect on application or drying with premium oils in testing, but more heavily modified or cheaper paints can behave differently. If in doubt, test first.
