No, turpentine is not recommended for cleaning glass. It is a solvent that can leave behind residue and streaks on glass surfaces. It is better to use a glass cleaner specifically designed for cleaning glass to ensure streak-free results.

Turpentine dissolved container I used to clean decorating brushes what should I use?

AnswerTurpentine shouldn't disolve the container, but maybe you had a little laquer thinner, toluene or acetone in the mix? If any of those are in the solvent, you can't use plastic. You will need to use either a metal or glass container. If it's just mineral spirits or turpentine, most plastic containers should be ok.There are plastic bottles which are specially made to be resistant to turpentine and mineral spirits for artists who paint. You can find them athttp://kinsandco.com/Products/Art/ArtistsBottle.shtml
