how do i get a brown/maroon paint stain out of my dress?

Question

it is a blue jeresy dress with a huge paint from painting a door stain on the back on the butt area

Answer 1

I would use a little bit of paint thinner and seperate the fibers as much as possible in that spot. Sometimes if it's a small spot, fingernail polish remover works, but be warned that sometimes it will leave a faded paint circle. Try not to tear the fabric, as the paint thinner WILL deteriorate your fabric some. Good luck!

Answer 2

Once any kind of paint DRIES on fabric, it will never come out. The secret to getting paint off is to remove it while it's still wet.

I wouldn't even bother with it. You'll only get upset and frustrated.

Just treat yourself to a new dress. (That's a heck of a lot more fun! Right?)

Answer 3

The same way you'd take out a green paint stain

Answer 4

Sorry I don't know of anything that would take paint off of Jersey material (are you talking about the stretchy polyester jersey). If the paint has already dried on the material it's pretty much a done deal.

Answer 5

Purell hand santizer usually gets fresh paint out of clothes and paintbrushes. Works best if you use it as soon as possible afterwords. my granddaughters use it to get koolaide stains off of the white counter also.
If this doesn't work try lighterfluid.

Answer 6

Try using aerosol hair spray or vinegar. spray with hairspray and let it dry then wash as normal. That will break the enzymes down in the paint and should wash out

Answer 7

Never happen. You will f up the fabric in the process of removing the stain. Which is impossable in and of itself

Answer 8

Are you sure it's really a paint stain?

Answer 9

ask Monica Lewinsky

Answer 10

Dye it black
