The first step is to create a soapy solution. Fill a bowl or sink with lukewarm water and mix in a small amount of mild dish soap. Place the barrette into the warm soapy mixture and leave it to soak for 5-7 minutes.
Once the barrette has soaked, grab a soft cloth and begin to buff away any remaining paint. Make sure to do this gently and not put too much pressure on the barrette, as this could damage it.
Once you've removed all of the paint, rinse barrette thoroughly. This will help to remove any soapy residue left behind from the cleaning process.
If the paint stain still remains after the first cleaning, then you can repeat steps above until the stain is fully removed.
If above steps don't fully remove the stain, then you can try using rubbing alcohol. Apply rubbing alcohol directly to the stained area and scrub gently until the paint is gone. Don't forget to rinse the barrette thoroughly afterwards.
It's easy to remove paint from your barrettes with a few simple steps! Make sure to use a mild dish soap if you decide to soak the barrette, and use a soft cloth when buffing away the paint. If that doesn't work, then you can also give rubbing alcohol a try.
