Step 1: Blot with a Dry Towel.

Grab a dry towel and place it over the paint stain. Gently press down on the stain, working from the outside in. This helps to absorb the excess paint before it has a chance to set. Once you’ve done that, you should see some of paint come up off of boxers onto towel.

Step 2: Soak in Hot Water.

Fill a basin or sink with hot water and add a tablespoon of mild laundry detergent. Submerge the boxers and let soak for about 30 minutes. This will help to loosen paint stain so it is easier to remove.

Step 3: Scrub with a Brush.

Once the boxers have soaked in the hot water, rinse them with cold water. Take a soft-bristled brush and gently scrub the affected area. If necessary, repeat steps 1 and 3 several times until paint stain is gone. Then, let the boxers air-dry.
