- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2025I’m a watercolor painter. I’ve used this soap to remove staining paint from clothing. Sometimes it doesn’t get every bit of a tough color but usually it does—without affecting the garment’s original color. Gets paint off hands well too.
Has grit in it, so use caution with fabrics, and don’t use for brushes. They have another soap for brushes, which is also excellent.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2015Love this soap -- cuts right through paint on my brushes. However, i returned this because look at how small this bar is for the price. Yikes. At michaels you can get a huge bar for the same price or a little less. T his was super tiny.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2024Soap works great but it's way too small for the price
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2025As an artist, I paint and it gets all over. Especially my hands. This is the only! Product that removes paint from my skin!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2025I've used this for many years. One of my favorites. Does a great job of cleaning both hands and brushes.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023Dislike small size, way too expensive
Think this is priced incorrectly …
Should be 4.5 oz, not 1.5 oz
Looks like a hotel bar of soap
Disappointed …. Totally!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2024This product cleans hands and tools after using inks, watercolors, and linoleum print inks. I rubbed some on a pair of pants, along with dish detergent, and it removed a stain that did not come clean after normal laundering. I have gotten more to give as little gifts to some of my calligraphy guild members. The paste brush cleaner by the same company also works very well for cleaning and restoring brushes.

3.0 out of 5 stars kleines niedliches Exemplar
Hatte jahrelang erfolgreich und mit sehr guten Ergebnissen den große Bruder im Einsatz. Hierbei handelt es sich wohl um das Stück für die Puppenstube.

5.0 out of 5 stars great!
Good quality product, bought for cleaning a face painting training head. Cleans really well apart from the black paint which was more difficult to clean off. Great product though
