Cleaning brushes
1. Wipe the paint off the brush
Remove paint residue from the brush or wipe it off with a paper towel. The towel can simply be tossed into an ordinary household rubbish bin.
2. Soak the brush
Soak the brush in warm water mixed with some washing-up liquid and let it stand for approx. 2 hrs.
Rinse the brush in clean water and let it dry
3. Be responsible when it comes to the rinse water
It’s very important not to flush leftover paint residue down the drain after rinsing your brushes. Deliver the rinse water and container to a recycling centre or environmental waste facility.
It’s best to ask your municipality about the location of the nearest recycling centre or environmental waste facility.
Hope your clean-up will be successful! Feel free to contact us at hello@klint.com if you have any questions or uncertainties
Start your colour journey
with our swatches.
Our swatch kits contain all colours within a certain colour family, to make it easy to find the right colour. The swatches are 22x22 cm, hand-painted with the same paint you can order, and removable so you can try different colours without having to paint on the wall.
Peel off the protection on the back, put up the swatch on the wall, and move it around as you want to get a feel of the colour in different environments and light.
Pigments, binders, preservatives and water. The paint is eco-labeled with the Swan label and the EU Flower.

What is the best way to dispose of leftover paint?
Good question! Liquid paint residue must be dropped off at a recycling centre or environmental waste facility On the other hand, if you completely empty a Klint paint pack, you can simply toss it into a recycling bin. Ask your municipality for the location of the nearest recycling centre or environmental waste facility.
Can I paint while pregnant?
Good question! Currently, there are no studies that show that this could be problematic as long as you use water-based paint without solvents, plasticizers, and with a low VOC content. (Which our paint ticks all the boxes for). But - as always when painting, it is a good idea to let the paint dry well and air the room for a couple of hours before sleeping in the room. As with most things related to pregnancy, we recommend doing what is best for you and your baby.
