Description

Painting is easy enough; it is the ten minutes at the sink afterwards that puts people off. The Brushkeeper is a neat answer to that — a clear, airtight bottle that the brush lives in. When you stop for the day the brush goes straight in, still loaded with paint, the cap screws down, and that is the clearing up done. Up to five days later it is still soft and ready to pick up where you left off.

When the job is finished and the brush does need cleaning properly, half-fill the bottle with water for water-based paint, or white spirit for oil-based, cap it and shake. Pour it away and repeat until it runs clear. The tapered synthetic filaments let the paint fall out of the brush on its own rather than drying into the heel, and the rinsings stay in the bottle instead of going down the sink.

The brush is a proper one rather than something thrown in to make up a set. The Ecobrush is a professional sash brush with a stainless steel ferrule and an unlacquered wooden handle, made not to shed bristles into a wet finish, and it suits water-based and oil-based paints equally.

No cling film, no jam jar of murky water on the windowsill, and no brush written off because it was left out overnight.

How to use

Paint as you normally would. The Ecobrush handles water-based and oil-based paints alike, so nothing about the way you work needs to change.
When you stop, put the brush straight into the bottle. Do not clean it first — that is the whole point. Feed the handle up through the cap, seat the cap on the bottle and screw it down firmly. The airtight seal is what does the work.
Pick it up again within five days and the brush will still be wet and ready. Unscrew, carry on painting, put it back.
For longer than that, add liquid. Pour in enough to cover the filaments — water for water-based paint, white spirit for oil-based — then seal it as before. Kept this way a brush will wait weeks or more.
To clean it properly, shake it. With the liquid in and the cap on, shake for a few seconds, pour the liquid away, and repeat two or three times until it runs clear. The tapered filaments release the paint on their own, so there is no scrubbing and no running water.
Dispose of the rinsings responsibly. Paint-laden water or white spirit should not go down the sink — that is half the reason the bottle exists.

One tip from the maker: with oil-based paints the handle can gradually slide down through the cap. A piece of string tied tightly around the handle just above the cap holds the brush where it should be.

Paint shop shipping FAQ

What delivery services do you use?

How much will delivery cost?

The charge for delivery is based on the service (standard or express) and on the weight of the parcel.
