Latex paint stains
Wet or dry, latex paint is by far the easiest to remove from clothing.
Step 1:
If the stain is wet, blot out as much of the excess paint as possible without rubbing it around and making the stained area bigger. If the stain is dry, scrape off the excess with a dull knife or spoon.
Step 2:
Turn over the stained part of the clothing and run it under warm water to try to get out as much of the paint as possible. This will flush out most of it, provided it’s still fresh.
Step 3:
Make a solution of water and liquid dishwashing detergent in equal amounts. Apply the mixture onto the stain with a sponge or clean cloth and let it go to work!
Step 4:
Using a sponge or clean cloth, scrub the stain and try to get a lather from the soapy water. Work at the stain until it comes out completely.
Step 5:
Finally, rinse the clothing with warm water to remove the last of the paint and stain. Launder as labelled.
Step 6:
Optional — if the stain is not removed after scrubbing with detergent, try using a stronger stain-remover.
