Paint Cleanup

Paint Cleanup covers the tools, cleaners, and additives that help you remove spills, wash brushes and rollers, flush spray equipment, and leave surfaces ready for a flawless finish. Whether you’re tackling latex, acrylic, oil-based, or epoxy coatings, the right products save time, protect surfaces, and keep your workspace safe and tidy.

You’ll find:
- Paint removers and strippers for cured coatings
- Brush and roller cleaners to extend tool life
- Thinners, reducers, and mineral spirits for oil-based paints
- Water-based cleaners for latex and acrylic
- Degreasers for prep and aftercare
- Solvent-safe buckets, funnels, and strainers
- Absorbent pads, spill kits, and shop rags
- Spray-gun cleaners and nozzle uncloggers
- Low-odor, low-VOC and biodegradable options
- Hand cleaners that cut paint without harsh residue

Choose products by paint type and surface. Water-based cleaners handle latex and acrylic; mineral spirits or turpentine address alkyd and oil-based paint. Gels cling to vertical surfaces; aerosols reach tight spots; concentrated liquids offer economical bulk cleaning. For wood, metal, masonry, and fabric, check labeling for compatibility to avoid etching, swelling, or discoloration.

Practical tips:
- Act quickly on spills; blot with absorbents before applying cleaner.
- Scrape or score thick build-up to reduce chemical use.
- Test in an inconspicuous area to gauge dwell time and effect.
- Flush spray guns and tips immediately after use to prevent clogs and uneven spray patterns.
- Recondition brushes with dedicated cleaners to maintain bristle shape and snap.

Safety and stewardship matter. Use gloves and eye protection, provide ventilation, and keep solvents away from ignition sources. Collect waste in approved containers, never pour leftover paint or solvent down drains, and follow local regulations for disposal or recycling.

From DIY refreshes to contractor-scale repaints, this Paint Cleanup selection helps you remove paint efficiently, protect your tools and surfaces, and achieve professional results on every job.
