Kintsugi Brush Care and Cleaning: A Practical Guide

Important precaution:
Brushes used with urushi lacquer should never be washed with water.

Prepare a new brush before use

New Kintsugi brushes are often stiffened with a protective glue. To make them ready for use:
• Rinse the bristles with warm water to remove the glue.

Why clean a Kintsugi brush after each use?

It is essential to clean brushes immediately after use, as the lacquer can dry and harden, rendering the brush unusable.

Effective method to clean a brush
1. Choose a suitable solvent: Pour a small amount of turpentine or, ideally, orange peel oil (less odorous and very effective) into a bowl or onto a glass plate.
2. Clean gently: Using a fingernail, wooden spatula or resin stick, gently move from the base of the bristles to their tip. Do not touch the tip directly.
3. Repeat: Continue until the hairspray is completely removed and the hair returns to its original color.

Finishing for perfect cleaning

• Carefully wipe the base of the bristles with a clean tissue to remove any remaining residue.

Additional Tips for Brush Care

• This method is suitable for brushes, Kintsugi, flat brushes and substitute brushes .
• If your brushes have been coated with vegetable oil, remember to clean them before each new use.

By following these steps , you will ensure a long life for your kintsugi brushes while preserving their performance. Cleaning your brushes regularly is the key to impeccable results in your creations!
