The Ultimate Paint Stain Remover Guide: How to Rescue Your Favorite Outfits!

Here are some tips on how to remove paint from clothes:

• Act quickly. The sooner you treat a paint stain, the easier it will be to remove.
• Blot, don’t rub. Rubbing can spread the stain and make it harder to remove.
• Identify the type of paint. The type of paint will determine the best way to remove it.
• Test the cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first. This will help to make sure that the cleaning solution doesn’t damage the fabric.
• Rinse thoroughly. Once you’ve removed the stain, be sure to rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove any remaining cleaning solution.

Here are some specific tips on how to remove different types of paint from clothes:

• Latex paint: Latex paint is water-based, so it can be removed with water and a mild detergent. Blot the stain with a paper towel to remove as much paint as possible. Then, mix a solution of 1 part dishwashing liquid to 2 parts water and apply it to the stain. Let the solution sit for 15 minutes, then rinse the area with cold water and launder as usual.
• Oil-based paint: Oil-based paint is not water-soluble, so you will need to use a solvent to remove it. Test the solvent in an inconspicuous area first to make sure that it doesn’t damage the fabric. Some common solvents that can be used to remove oil-based paint include mineral spirits, turpentine, and paint thinner. Apply the solvent to the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then, blot the area with a paper towel to remove as much solvent as possible. Rinse the area with cold water and launder as usual.
• Spray paint: Spray paint is a type of oil-based paint, so you will need to use a solvent to remove it. Follow the same steps as for oil-based paint, but be sure to use a solvent that is specifically designed for spray paint.
