Safflower Oil for cleaning oil paint brushes is a good alternative to soap and water Safflower and poppyseed are semi-drying oils that can be used for oil painting but they dry much slower and form softer skins. With oils add a small amount of linseed oil to a clean cloth and wipe away any excess paint. Add a few drops of a non-astringent liquid dish detergent and stir the mixture by hand until it forms a mild solution.
Give the oils at least 24 hours to dry before applying any dull coat. Continue wiping away the paint with a soft cloth until you have removed as much as possible. Another home remedy for cleaning oil paintings is to cut a big white potato in half then rub the white moist part over the painting.
Kitchen oils like avocado or olive do not dry and will always remain soft. Just swipe a cotton swab across your tongue and dab not rub the surface of the oil painting switching to a new cotton swab whenever the old one starts to look dirty.
