FAQ's

What paint types can I use with this brush?
This brush works excellently with water-based paints (emulsion, acrylic) and oil-based paints (gloss, satinwood, eggshell). The high-quality bristles are designed to perform well across all common decorating paint types.

Is this brush suitable for cutting in?
Absolutely. The 3" width is ideal for cutting in around ceilings, corners, and edges. It provides sufficient coverage for efficiency whilst maintaining the control needed for crisp, clean lines.

How do I clean and maintain this brush?
For water-based paints, rinse thoroughly with warm soapy water until the water runs clear. For oil-based paints, clean with white spirit or appropriate brush cleaner, then wash with soapy water. Always reshape the bristles and store hanging or flat to maintain performance.

High-quality construction minimises bristle shedding. Any minimal shedding typically occurs only during the first use. Rinse the brush thoroughly before first use to remove any loose bristles.
