LINO CLEAN is ready to use but can be diluted with water if necessary. The addition of water reduces the cleaning force. Printing tools should not rest unnecessarily long in the cleaner. Submerge brushes only to the ferrule – in accordance to the used lacquers the product might also solve the varnish of the brush handle. All printing tools should be cleaned thoroughly with water after being treated with LINO CLEAN.

Close immediately after use due to its volatility and store in a cool dry place.
