Acrylic Paint Removal from Clothing
If the paint stain is fresh, you should treat it immediately with soap and water. Check your pants for colorfastness, and if the color doesn't run, rub the stain with automatic dishwashing detergent, let stand briefly, then wash. Or, if your pants are colorfast, spray the stain with Easy-Off oven cleaner, let set for 30 minutes, then launder.

I want to know what we do if the paint is already dry, and if there is little paint left that I couldn't get out with soap, water, alcohol, and paint thinner. Please help me!

Acrylic paint stains (long hardened) will not budge with soap and water, alcohol or dishwasher detergent -- any other tips?

I have the same cry for help as Anna S. What do you do if the paint has already dried? My daughter got acrylic pant on a brand new outfit and it dried at school. I have been soaking it but doesn't seem to be helping. What next?
