If you notice the stain before laundering, rinse stain with warm water to remove excess paint, work hand soap directly into any leftover stain and rinse. Do not pretreat or use prewashing solutions, which may set the stain. Wash immediately in hot water with laundry detergent for about 12 minutes (heavy soil cycle). If stain remains, soak in OxiClean or Clorox 2 solution, according to the instructions on the container, for one hour and repeat laundry cycle. Repeated laundering should remove any residual stains.

Stain removal suggestions are provided as a service to consumers. While our methods have been successful in testing, we are unable to guarantee results. Before attempting the removal method, test each procedure on an inconspicuous area of the material or surface to be cleaned. In some cases, it may be best to consult a professional cleaner for recommendations.
When specific brands are recommended it is because they were most effective removing stains; however, competitive brands may work equally as well.
