Stains from paint are quite difficult to remove from the fibers of the fabric, so the approach requires patience and attention to detail. It is especially difficult for housewives who want to remove contaminants from delicate products. There are effective folk remedies that help solve the problem quickly and at little cost. We give practical recommendations and consider important aspects in order.

How to remove dried paint from clothes

Kefir and sodium borate

In common people, sodium borate is called "brown", the product can be purchased at any hardware store. The tool is especially effective in the case of removing not only stains of paint, but also wine, coffee, rust, marker, etc.

Take 55 gr. sodium borate, add to it 30 ml of table vinegar 9% and 75 ml. fat yogurt, mix thoroughly with a fork to eliminate lumps. Apply the mixture on the outside of the stain, wait for partial drying.

Place the cling film on top, then turn the product inside out, carry out the same manipulations. After 20 minutes, rub the dirt with a toothbrush, rinse with water. If the stain cannot be removed, increase the amount of sodium borate to 75 g. After cleaning, wash your clothes.

Turpentine

Typically, the product is used to remove stains of paint from silk and other delicate materials. It is allowed to use the composition on wool, cotton, linen, but the procedure will need to be carried out several times. Do not be discouraged if the result is unsatisfactory.

To carry out turpentine treatment, you must first shake the product and scrape off any dirt. Next, soak a cotton swab in the composition, treat the stain on the wrong side and front side, leave for 10 minutes. No need to press hard, enough light driving movements. Otherwise, the paint will stick even more into the fibers of the product.

After the deadline, take a few paper towels, place them on both sides of the dirt, squeeze with your palms. After that, wipe the stain again with a cosmetic disc dipped in turpentine, wait 45-60 minutes. Then send the product to the machine or wash it with your hands.

In cases where the contamination has been partially removed, cover it with baby powder without perfumes. Place the album sheet on the surface, go iron. Change the paper as it gets dirty, and finish with another wash.

Butter

Oil paint is removed with butter, no matter how ironic it sounds. For the procedure, you will need to take 75 gr. product and soften it at room temperature. After that, combine the composition with 80 gr. handwash powder, stir with a fork until smooth.

Butter from stains of paint

Rub the paste with a stain of paint, rub with a toothbrush, remove excess with a paper towel. Re-apply the product for contamination, cover with cling film, leave for half an hour. After all the manipulations, wash the item with laundry soap, then place it in the machine.

Table vinegar and ammonia

Ammonia is ammonia. In combination with vinegar, it removes paint stains in almost 100% of cases. Typically, the method is particularly effective in the fight against a water-based (acrylic) composition.

To properly prepare the mixture, combine in one composition 30 gr. chopped edible salt (not iodized, it burns pigment), 65 ml. acetic solution with a concentration of from 6 to 9%, 50 ml. ammonia (ammonia).

Place a piece of polyethylene on the inside of the stain, distribute the mixture over contamination, leave for 7 minutes.After time, rub with a toothbrush (if the cloth is not delicate) or a soft cloth. Remove the rest of the composition with water, machine wash or hand wash.

Chlorine

The method is designed to remove stains of paint from white or very bright things. For the most part, chlorine-containing preparations are used to treat cotton and flax, the fibers of these fabrics are more wear-resistant.

To remove impurities, buy Perrox or White at the hardware store, pour 80 ml. drug in an aluminum bucket, add 6 liters of water. Put the container on the stove, boil the solution, send the product there. Boil for 30 minutes, constantly "stoke" the thing with tongs so that it does not pop up.

After this period, pull out the clothes, send them to be washed in the machine. Set the function “heavily soiled linen”, add the whitening gel in a special compartment. After turning off the timer, hang the product to dry on the balcony, avoid direct UV radiation.

Tar soap

Remove tar spots will help tar or laundry soap, which is sold in any supermarket. Dampen the paint residue with water, rub it with a bar, leave to soak for 2 hours. After that, rinse, repeat the action 2-3 more times, rub the stain with a carpet brush or a hard sponge.

Tar soap from stains of paint

Next, send the thing to wash in the machine, add a stain remover like “Sarma”, “Domestos” or “Vanish”. The second compartment in which the powder should be located, fill with baking soda in an amount of 100 g. Turn on intensive washing, dry the product away from direct sunlight.

Lemon and hydrogen peroxide

Take 1 lemon, cut it into small pieces and pass through a blender or meat grinder to make a mushy mass. Moisten the stain with hydrogen peroxide, place the citrus mixture over the entire stain, rub well. Leave for 1 hour, then remove the excess with a napkin, evaluate the result. If necessary, repeat the procedure a few more times until the stain is completely removed.

If desired, replace the peroxide with Chlorhexidine, which is sold in the pharmacy (the composition of the drugs is identical). If you decide to remove the paint stain from colored delicate fabrics, do not rub the pollution with hydrogen peroxide. It is enough to moisten the area with lemon juice and wait half an hour, and then carry out machine / hand wash.

Vinegar essence

Do not confuse vinegar essence with table solution (food vinegar). Their difference lies in the maximum concentration: in the first case, the indicator is 65–70%, in the second - a maximum of 9%. Not many people know that the product is used in enterprises to give a shade of brightness and improve the structure of the fabric. For this reason, vinegar essence can be used in reasonable quantities on fabrics of all kinds and colors.

To prepare a solution for soaking, mix 75 ml. essences with 3.3 liters filtered water, put clothes in a basin, wait about 1-1.5 hours. After the specified time, send the clothes to the machine. In cases of light soiling, treat ink stains locally.

It is easy to get rid of traces of paint on clothes, if you have sufficient knowledge regarding available folk remedies. Consider the recipe for preparing a solution based on kefir and sodium borate, turpentine, hydrogen peroxide or Chlorhexidine. Rub the pollution with butter, use chlorine, ammonia or table vinegar.

Vinegar and ammonia with salt did not help ABSOLUTELY. Although there is very little paint on the pants, the result is simply zero.
