I was painting our front porch with white paint and got quite a bit of it on my gloves, sweatshirt and pants. (Don't ask!) Someone suggested rubbing alcohol, but it's not working. Maybe I didn't use enough. Any other suggestions?

Yeah, definitely use alcohol. Keep trying it always works for me.

I splattered paint on two pairs of my brand new shorts, one pair cotton, one pair were swim shorts material. The paint was interior latex. I tried Dual Action Oxy, soaking, hot wash, cold wash, nothing took the paint out. So, I tried rubbing alcohol. Paint had been washed and dried, and the rubbing alcohol took it right out with a tiny bit of gentle scrubbing (I used a small wire bristle brush with softer bristles for cleaning sneakers) but I'm sure you could use any sort of bristle brush. Don't rub too hard! Worked great!
If it is oil based paint, you may need to try Goo Gone.

Latex paint and oil based paints can both be removed by a good dry cleaner.
