 Clean-up stains as soon as possible, as wet paint that has not yet cured will be easier to remove.
 Wet Paint:
 1. Using paper towels, wipe up as much paint as possible.
 2. Make a mixture of dish soap and warm water. Using a sponge or cloth, apply the soapy water to the area and use a circular motion. Continue scrubbing and rinsing the cloth or sponge until no more colorant can be removed.
 3. If the stain remains, spray a mild degreaser, such as Formula 409, on the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe the area with a wet soapy cloth or sponge and repeat, as needed.
 Dry Paint:
 1. Using a dull knife or metal spoon, scrape up any excess paint.
 2. Saturate the remaining paint with a solution of warm water and dish soap.
 3. Use a sponge or cloth, and rub the area in a circular motion to help lift the paint. The warm, soapy water will help life the paint.
 4. If the stain remains, spray a mild degreaser, such as Formula 409, on the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe the area with a wet soapy cloth or sponge and repeat, as needed.
