Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean and maintain my Purdy paint brushes?

For water-based paints, rinse thoroughly in warm water with mild detergent until water runs clear. For oil-based paints, clean with appropriate white spirit or brush cleaner, then wash with soapy water. Always reshape bristles and hang to dry, or lay flat with bristles supported to maintain their shape.

What's the difference between natural and synthetic bristles?

Natural bristles work best with oil-based paints, varnishes, and stains, providing excellent paint flow. Synthetic bristles, or blended filaments, are ideal for water-based emulsions and acrylics, as they don't absorb water and maintain their shape better. Purdy's blended bristles often combine both for versatile performance.

Which Purdy brush size should I choose?

For cutting-in and detailed work around edges and frames, choose 38mm to 50mm angled brushes. For doors, skirting boards, and medium surfaces, opt for 63mm to 75mm brushes. Larger 100mm brushes suit extensive flat areas and exterior work, providing faster coverage.
