Explanation

Turpentine is a solvent that dissolves fresh oil-based paint. It breaks down paint molecules, making them easy to wipe away from surfaces or fabric.

Painters use turpentine to clean brushes and remove paint spills. It works effectively on fresh paint before it dries completely.

Bleach removes stains. Borax cleans. Glycerin softens. Only turpentine is specifically designed to dissolve and remove fresh paint.
