Step 1: Identify the Type of Paint

Before tackling the stain, you first need to identify the type of paint that is causing it. Is it water-based or oil-based? Knowing this will determine the best way to remove the stain.

Step 2: Blot the Stain

The next step is to gently blot stained area with a clean cloth. Be sure to use gentle pressure and only dab, don't rub, so that you don't spread the stain further.

Step 3: Pretreat the Stain

Depending on the type of paint, you may need to pretreat the stain with a spot cleaner. If it is an oil-based paint, use a solvent-based cleaner such as rubbing alcohol. If it is a water-based paint, use a detergent-based cleaner.

Step 4: Soak the Stain in Water

Once you have pretreated the stain, fill a bowl with warm water and soak the fabric for a few minutes. This will help to loosen the paint further and make it easier to remove.

Step 5: Rinse Fabric

After soaking, rinse the fabric thoroughly with cold water. This will help to remove any soap residue and ensure that all of the paint is gone.

Step 6: Air Dry the Fabric

Finally, lay fabric flat and let it air dry. Avoid using a drying machine as this could set stain and make it harder to remove.

Conclusion

With a few simple steps, you can easily remove paint stains from your piqué fabric. Remember to always identify type of paint before treating the stain, and never rub the fabric while trying to remove it.
