How do I remove liquid paper (white out) from walls, floors and laundry?

Question

One of my sons somehow got a hold of a bottle of Liquid Paper...and since he's a creative lad who enjoys painting, he proceeded to "paint" on our newly finished walls and hardwood floors - then spilled some on one of his (black) t-shirts! Any ideas as to how to remove this stuff? I'm looking for something that will (gently) dissolve it without ruining or marring the surfaces (or the shirt!). Thanks!

Answer 1

Got this hint from "Robbie's Kitchen":

White-Out / Liquid Paper and Permanent Marker Stains: Dab some sunscreen over the stain and rub off with a paper towel. Repeat until stain is gone.

And, from the Liquid Paper site itself:

Oil based Liquid Paper
(Bond White/Fast Dry/ 2 in 1 correction combo,/Pen & Ink/ Multi-Fluid/ Smooth Coverage/ Stock Colors)

For washable clothing, any one of the following will work. Follow directions on the back of packaging.

Goof Off
Goo Gone
De-Solv-It Contractors Solution

For Dry clean-only clothing:

Take to the cleaners and let them know you have an oil based paint stain so that they can employ a suitable spot treatment.

Water Based Liquid Paper
Just for Copies / Waterbased

For washable clothing

Answer 2

It depends - 30 years a go there were all sorts of innovations happening in the paper industry. If it's vinyl (or Novamura) dry strip the top layer (it comes off in sheets) and then remove the backing (if there is any) like ordinary paper. For normal types you should try removing first with water (with a little detergent to 'wet' the paper better, leave it to soak and soften the adhesive and then scrape fairly gently with a scraper. Get the soaking time right and it should be a doddle. If it is a washable type (ie it has like a varnish finish) of has been painted over, score with a wire brush before soaking to let the paper. I do not trust steamers - if you don't know what you are doing you can end up wrecking the plaster underneath and detaching the finishing coat, if not the whole lot, although they can be good for woodchip type papers. When you have got most of the paper off a light wash down should remove the remaining scraps and paste residue.

Go to Lowes or Homedepot and get a spray bottle, some concentrated liquid wall paper remover, a scoring tool and a wide scraper. Total cost less than $20. Score, use warm water and let it soak in for 10 minutes. It will most likely come right off. Steam isn't usually required. You may need to do it twice if the top layer is plastic. It's probably not as bad as you think.
