How do you get dried latex paint out of nylon, polyester and cotton clothes?

Answer 1

Sorry pal, if its dried paint, its too late. You can try to peel it off, but you'll still have some left over, if not most of it.

Answer 2

I had a nice polyester coat that brush up against some paint and I did not discover it until a week later. The coat was dark gray and red. The paint was white interior latex. I tried soaking it in water for several hours, but that did not help very much. Then I soaked it in rubbing alcohol for a about 5 mins. The paint spot broke down very quickly after that and I used a sturdy tooth brush and more rubbing alcohol to break it down within the fabric. Then I applied an oxy clean paste and soaked in the wash machine. Looks great.

Answer 3

There are actually many products that will work. Carbona Stain Devils makes a latex paint remover, as does Mostenbokers, both are in the laundry aisle at most large discounters. You can also use Krud Kutters a great new product I found at Lowes home improvement centers. All are non-toxic, biodegradable and fume free.

Answer 4

Try the product called "Oops!" that is a mild chemical solvent used specifically to get dried paint from various surfaces. It really DOES work and doesn't bleach or discolor the affected surface . . . I buy mine at Home Depot, but I'm sure it's also available at Lowe's or maybe even WalMart.

Answer 5

you can remove the stain by using Methylated Spirits on the nylon & polyester clothing and as long as the other clothes are colored fast material then this should be fine it also removes Grass Stains
