How to Remove Paint From Clothes
Thankfully, this isn't something you need to figure out all on your own. Everyone from Bob Villa to Good Housekeeping and more has advice for you on how to remove paint from clothes. It's a pretty popular topic, in fact, the hardest part may be finding the best solution among many. Here's our favorite tips and tricks:
Scoop Off Excess Paint
Scoop off excess paint with a spoon or butter knife, if the paint has dried. This will get as much off as possible before the hard work begins.
Dip it in Paint Thinner
A little bit goes a long way! Pour a paint removal agent, like paint thinner, into a small plastic container. You're going to want to use something disposable, like a yogurt tub or old tupperware you don't mind tossing afterwards.
To work on the stain, soak a clean rag in the paint remover and dab at the stain. As you get more and more paint off, switch to an unused section of the rag. You don't want to spread it around and make your job harder! For a truly stubborn stain, try scrubbing gently with a toothbrush
Blot, Wash, and Dry
Lastly, place a fresh, dry cloth or paper towel behind the soiled area and blot it to absorb the removal agent. Once it's no longer soaking wet, you can wash and dry the garment the way the manufacturer recommends on the tag.
You're all finished! Particularly if you act quickly, a bit of paint won't have any long-lasting effects on your clothes.
