Winsor & Newton Artists' White Spirits, White,75ml,3221738

A great product! I bought this painting at an estate sale and didn't notice the smoke damage til outside. The second picture, with very visible horizontal brown lines, is when I first brought the painting home- no cleaning yet. The third picture is after several rounds of wiping it down with cotton cloths, warm water, and a drop of Dawn dish soap. The lines are much better, but still visible. I researched products that could help and found this painting cleaner and also bought the distilled turpentine to use after, as recommended by other users. I shook the painting cleaner periodically and used on cotton pads and wiped the painting down. I couldn't find clear instructions on how to use but this worked well and let me apply little bits at a time to ensure it wasn't damaging. I could see the brown patches disappearing immediately after wiping different pieces of the painting. The first pic is immediately after using the picture cleaner. After I let this dry for a bit, I applied the distilled turpentine with cotton cloths to remove any cleaner residue and I think this helped remove any chalkiness. The last pic is a close up of cleaner used on Right side and no cleaner on the Left side of photo. The color of the blue changed so much! The painting looks like it's in a different season from when we began. Highly recommend and will keep both products on hand in my vintage restoring tools!To note: no instructions on bottle and a very strong scent (like a pine sol) to the cleaner. Smell lingers for several hours.

This thinner fits the bill if you want to do painting with other people around. My wife is very sensitive to strong chemical smells and I use this while she’s sitting next to me with no problem. Great product!

The usual quality from Winsor & Newton. Very good product and fast delivery.

I've been using Sansodor for something like 40 years. Superb performance - and genuinely unnoticeable odour.

Ich habe mir den Verdünner gekauft um damit meine Oelfarben zum Figurenmalen zu verdünnen. Anders als beim Malen auf saugenden Untergründen (Leinwand etc.) male ich damit auf Kunststoffuntergrund der absolut nichts aufsaugt. Die Farben verdünne ich sehr stark und mit dem Winsor & Newton Verdünner trocknen die Farben Matt bis Seidenmatt auf und das innert weniger Stunden bis Tage. Zuvor musste ich teilweise Wochen warten bis die Farben trocken waren.
