I'm looking to get started with oil painting but have a question in regards to paint thinner/brush cleaner. The room I will be painting in doesn't have any ventilation other than a window that I can open, is there a big difference in the use of turpentine vs lavender essence brush cleaner? Just trying to avoid breathing in a bunch of toxic fumes!

Thanks for the advice! Going to go with not using any solvents, I bought several solvent free substitutes that I'll try though. Bought Gamblin Solvent Free Medium Gel and their Solvent Free Fluid since they were pretty cheap and a oil painter on YouTube recommended trying them for painting without solvents.

Definitely seems like an awful idea to use solvents to paint in what is essentially my guest bedroom in a 2 bedroom apartment.
