1. Act Fast!
The longer the paint stain has to settle in, harder it will be to remove. This means that first step is to act quickly. As soon as you notice a paint stain on your jumper, take immediate action to clean it up.
2. Soak the Stain in Cold Water
Start by soaking the stained area of your jumper in cold water for around 30 minutes. The cold water helps break down the paint particles, making them easier to remove. If you're worried about the colour running, try adding a cup of white vinegar to water and soaking for an additional 30 minutes.
3. Pre-Treat the Stain
Once the stained area of the jumper has been soaked, pre-treat it with a liquid detergent. Use a cloth or an old toothbrush to scrub gently at stain until it begins to fade away. Rinse off the detergent.
4. Launder the Jumper
After pre-treating, launder jumper in cold water using a mild detergent. It's important not to use any bleach or fabric softeners, as these can cause further damage to the fabric.
5. Air Dry the Jumper
Air drying is always best option to avoid shrinking or stretching of fabric. Hang the jumper outside or inside and let it air dry until it's completely dry.
