Latex Paint Removal from Clothing
Rubbing alcohol dissolves latex paint. Just wipe it away. For dried latex paint, let it soak in alcohol a little, or rub with an alcohol-soaked Q-Tip, then wipe the paint away.
In the laundry, wet the spot with alcohol, lift the paint spot manually or put it in the washer when it has dissolved.

Fabulous! works too! Work with paint as my trade and this does great-beware of delicate fabrics-
pigment in disolved paint can sometimes stain.

Great tip...worked better than I could have hoped. This has been a problem vexing me for quite some time. It does not matter how much care I take in keeping paint off of my clothing, everytime I paint I get something on me...usually after I have changed clothes and now have a 'good' shirt or pair of pants on.
