If the only thing left behind after SafeKlean evaporates is a little linseed oil (which eventually oxidizes and hardens) it would seem to me that you wouldn't want to clean a decent brush in this stuff and let it sit for 3 months or so afterwards...

If you are saying that you must clean up with soap and water after using SafeKlean Brush Cleaner, I'd say that it is a lot of unnecessary work to have to clean the brush cleaner out of the brush..

I found Weber's Natural Turpenoid to be an awful product that I once mistakenly used to clean my brushes. It wrecked the brush that the "oil residue" dried in. Also when I used it in my paint, the paint "didn't dry" correctly. Sounds like SafeKlean is of the same ilk...

As to the addition of d-Limonene to the BioShield citrus based thinner...I'm willing to trust the manufacturer of BioShield to tell me the truth when they say that this particular product is "non-toxic" and won't hurt anybody....

I get a headache in the presence of turpentine...(after awhile it actually makes me itchy too). I tried a lot of different paint thinners and about 4 years ago, I found BioShield. Because of the way I paint it really works well for me. Whew!
