Accepted Answer

White spirit is a clear, petroleum-derived solvent used for thinning oil-based paints and cleaning painting tools such as brushes and rollers.

Question 2

2. How do you dispose of white spirit?

Accepted Answer

White spirit should never be poured down drains, sinks, or onto the ground, as it can contaminate water sources and harm the environment. Dispose of it as hazardous waste through a licensed waste disposal facility or your local authority’s household recycling centre. Many sites like these have specific drop-off points for solvents and flammable liquids.

Question 3

3. Can white spirit be reused?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Let the used spirit settle in a closed container. Once the paint solids sink, you can decant and reuse the clear liquid.
