White Spirit is a flammable, clear, colourless liquid. It is a mixture of chemicals known as petroleum hydrocarbons. Often seen in the hands of painters, it excels at thinning oil-based paints and cleaning brushes and equipment after a project.

White Spirit's degreasing abilities make it a valuable tool for various household cleaning tasks. Stubborn oil stains don't stand a chance against its cleaning power. It can even prepare surfaces for painting by removing grease and grime, ensuring a strong bond between paint and surface.

Tip:
Do not dispose of down the drain, allow to evaporate naturally in a well-ventilated area

Key Features:

  • Solvent: White spirit effectively dissolves oil-based paints and removes oil stains, making it a go-to for painters and for various household cleaning tasks.
  • Degreaser: Its degreasing properties extend beyond just oil. White spirit tackles grease and grime, allowing for thorough cleaning and better paint adhesion when prepping surfaces.
  • Lower Odour Alternative: Compared to turpentine, another common solvent, white spirit offers a milder odour, making it a more pleasant choice for indoor use.
