"It's worth it to have painting clothes, either old clothes or an artist's smock, so you can focus on painting and not worry about paint stains," says Mary Gagliardi, who goes by the title "Dr. Laundry" for Clorox. She emphasizes that anyone can accidentally stain their clothes, making it important to know how to remove such stains effectively. This advice suggests the practicality of having dedicated clothing for painting projects.
To remove splatters of acrylic or latex paint from clothes, it's essential to act quickly. First, remove your clothing to access the stain effectively. Start by using a dull knife or plastic spoon to scrape off as much wet paint as possible without damaging the fabric. Immediate action is key to prevent the stain from setting in.
After removing as much paint as possible, rinse the affected area under water and apply a cleaning agent like Clorox 2® for Colors or distilled white vinegar. Gagliardi suggests using an old toothbrush to gently work the cleaning solution into the stain. This methodical approach aids in enhancing the chances of completely erasing the paint.
