Acrylic paint, while a favourite amongst artists for its vibrant colours and quick drying time, is notorious for being difficult to remove once it has dried on fabric. This is because it is a water-soluble paint when wet, but once dry, it becomes water-resistant. Therefore, the best time to act on removing the paint is as soon as it spills on the clothes. However, if you've discovered a dried paint stain, don't worry. There are still several steps you can take to try and remove the stain.
Initial Steps to Remove Acrylic Paint From Clothes
The first step in removing acrylic paint from clothes is to act quickly. If the paint is still wet, dab it with a dry cloth or paper towel to remove as much paint as possible. Do not rub it, as you might spread the paint further or push it deeper into the fabric. If the paint has already dried, use a spoon or a blunt knife to scrape off as much dried paint as possible. Once you've removed as much paint as you can, rinse the stained area under cold water.

After the initial steps, you can move to more detailed cleaning methods. One such method involves using a mix of liquid hand dishwashing detergent and warm water. Apply this mixture to the stained area and gently scrub with a soft toothbrush. Rinailse and repeat the process until the stain is gone. If the stain persists, you can try using an alcohol-based product like hairspray or nail polish remover. Apply it to the area and blot with a clean cloth. Afterward, rinse the area and wash the garment as usual.
