Removing the Paint Stain
- Start by using a white cloth and white vinegar to blot the stain. The vinegar works to dissolve the paint, making it easier to remove.
- Scrubbing stain using borax will help to lift it from fabric.
- If the stain is particularly stubborn, a palm sander can be used to gently sand away at the stain.
- Once you’ve removed as much of stain as possible, you can put the shirt in the washing machine with a laundry detergent.
Tips
- It’s important to act quickly when dealing with paint stains; the longer the paint sits on the fabric, the harder it will be to remove.
- When scrubbing the stain, make sure to only use a circular motion to avoid damaging the fabric.
- For best results, use a cold wash cycle when washing the t-shirt.
