Clean-up stains as soon as possible, as wet paint that has not yet cured will be easier to remove.
Wet Paint
1. Using a dull knife or metal spoon, scrape up any excess paint.
2. Prepare a large container with warm water and dish soap. Wash the garment by hand to remove as much of the colorant as possible.
3. For launderable fabrics, run it through a standard wash cycle with laundry detergent on the hottest temperature the material can withstand. Do not include unstained garments in the wash cycle.
4. Repeat as needed and avoid heat-drying until satisfactory results are achieved. Air-dry instead, as heat can set the stain.
Dry Paint
1. Saturate the paint with a solution of warm water and dish soap.
2. Using a dull knife or metal spoon, scrape up any excess paint.
3. Using a soft bristle brush, scrub the area in a circular motion to help release the paint from the surface.
4. Wipe with a cloth to pick up the loose pieces of dried paint.
5. Repeat until no more colorant can be removed.
6. For launderable fabrics, run it through a standard wash cycle with laundry detergent on the hottest temperature the material can withstand. Do not include unstained garments in the wash cycle.
7. Repeat as needed and avoid heat-drying until satisfactory results are achieved. Heat can set the stain.
