There are several methods to remove acrylic paint stains from clothes, and the best chance for removing them is to act quickly. Here are some of the most effective methods:
-
Scrape and wash: While the stain is still wet, scrape off any excess paint and wash the fabric with soap and water.
-
Isopropyl alcohol: Apply isopropyl alcohol to the stain and rub it with a rag. This can break down the water-resistant top layer of dried acrylic paint.
-
Denatured alcohol: Dip a cotton ball into denatured alcohol and gently rub the stain. Rinse the area with soap and water.
-
Baking soda, dish soap, and rubbing alcohol: For old stains, soak the fabric in a mixture of baking soda, dish soap, and rubbing alcohol.
-
Paint thinner: This is a last resort option for removing acrylic paint stains from clothes. Dab some paint thinner on the stain with a clean cloth or sponge, then blot it with another cloth until the stain lifts off.
It is important to act fast when you notice a stain, as it will be easier to remove when it is wet than when it is dry. Also, it is recommended to test the method on an inconspicuous area before attempting to remove the stain.
