OK, now I'm a little worried. All I want is 2 things: a non-toxic way to clean brushes nicely and quickly for my extremely lazy habits, and a lean medium to do my underpaintings. Is that too much to ask? Maybe I should try the vegetable oil for cleaning but I think I'm too lazy - that stuff goes rancid. When I'm done painting for the day... I'm done. More labor is unlikely.

What do you think - Turpenoid natural to do the brushes and Gamsol + LS for an underpainting? I'm not adverse to multiple substances. I keep my turp/linseed oil in a closed baby food jar so I'm not worried about mistaking it for a food substance. Yet, the kids are in the studio at least once a day so I like to keep things as non-toxic as possible, and I like to launder my rags.

I agree, I take the odorless stuff as extra dangerous because I'm not even aware we're inhaling it.
