After oil painting last night I put my brushes & palettes into the sink to clean. I scrubbed them the best I could then left them soaking overnight so I could buy paint thinner for a proper cleaning the next day Today I got paint thinner & finished cleaning my brushes. a thread

My brushes took forever to get clean & in the process I got oil paint EVERYWHERE, I ruined a pair of dish gloves, a sponge & my steel wool. The worst part... my stainless steel sink was covered in paint that wouldn’t wash away or scrub away. I panicked.

I tried everything, I scrubbed paint thinner into the sink, I soaked it with hot soapy water, I prayed to cthulhu. I decided to google how to remove oil paint from a stainless steel sink & the internet suggested I could simply wipe it away with some cooking oil.

Looking over at my expensive bottle of olive oil I knew I couldn’t sacrifice it down the drain so I went hunting in the house for another oil I could use. The only other oil I had was a bottle of lavender massage oil for uhhh the bedroom, if you know what I mean....

I grab the oil, dump it into the sink & start wiping the sink with slick, lavender scented paper towels AND ITS WORKING! The paint is easily lifting off the surface of the sink so I continue to wipe everything that got paint on it w/ this sexy massage oil. Finally clean!
