I have used something called Turpenoid, which is apparently odourless turpentine. It is, I think, no less harmful or toxic than ordinary turps, but it doesn't have a smell at all. Not sure how they make it (perhaps Richard would know). This I would use for mixing with oil paint. There is something else I use which I think is mineral spirits (it, mysteriously, has no ingredients listed on the label). I use this only for cleaning brushes as it strips all paint, dry or wet and if you used it on your painting I am sure the paint would start peeling off altogether!
