Using a paper towel or rag, gently wipe off any excess paint that may still be on the fabric. Be careful not to spread the stain further as you clean.
Mix a few drops of detergent with water and apply it to the paint stain using a soft bristled brush. Work gently so that you don't damage the fabric.
Rinse the detergent and water off the fabric with cold water. Once you've finished rinsing, use a dry paper towel or cloth to blot up any remaining moisture.
Use an all-purpose pre-treatment spray designed for fabrics and spray it onto the paint stain. Allow it to sit for around fifteen minutes before washing.
Wash your anorak in cold water. Make sure to select a gentle cycle to prevent any further damage to the fabric.
Once the wash cycle is complete, hang your anorak in a warm, dry place to let it air dry. Don't put your anorak in the dryer, as this can set the paint stain into the fabric.
Once your anorak is dry, inspect it and repeat any of the above steps as necessary. If the stain still remains, you can use other spot treatments to help remove it.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
