Application and Usage Guidelines

Following the initial rinse, wash the brush thoroughly with specialized artist soap and water to remove any remaining pigment or cleaner residue.Recycling the Medium:
Allow the used cleaner to sit undisturbed; over time, the suspended pigments will settle at the bottom of the container. The clear liquid at the top can then be decanted and reused for future cleaning sessions.Responsible Disposal:
Collect the concentrated pigment sediment that accumulates at the bottom of the jar and transport it to a local hazardous waste collection point in accordance with environmental regulations.
