You will avoid mishaps and work more comfortably.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"951\">Even so, we know that sometimes we end up staining that T-shirt we wanted to keep wearing. And that is where the challenge begins: <strong data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"951\">paint stains, especially gloss ones, are among the hardest to remove.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"999\">How to remove paint stains: step by step<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1155\">Luckily, there are several <strong data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1059\">simple, effective tricks<\/strong> for removing paint stains from clothes. Here we tell you the steps to follow depending on the case:<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1211\">1. Act quickly if the paint is still fresh<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1318\">This point is <strong data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1236\">key<\/strong>. The sooner you act, the more likely you are to remove the stain successfully.<\/p>\n\n<ul data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1505\">\n \t<li data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1373\">\n<p data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1373\"><strong data-start=\"1322\" data-end=\"1373\">Try to remove the stain before it dries.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li data-start=\"1374\" data-end=\"1505\">\n<p data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1505\">If you cannot clean it straight away, <strong data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1440\">keep the stain damp<\/strong> or leave it to <strong data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1478\">soak in warm water<\/strong> until you can treat it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"1507\" data-end=\"1544\">2. What if the paint is already dry?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1628\">All is not lost. If the stain has already dried, follow these two basic steps:<\/p>\n\n<ul data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1980\">\n \t<li data-start=\"1630\" data-end=\"1749\">\n<p data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1749\"><strong data-start=\"1632\" data-end=\"1669\">Remove the excess dry paint<\/strong> with a spoon or a blunt knife, being careful not to damage the fabric.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"1836\">\n<p data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1836\">Then, <strong data-start=\"1761\" data-end=\"1792\">wipe with a clean, dry cloth<\/strong> to absorb any loose paint residue.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li data-start=\"1837\" data-end=\"1980\">\n<p data-start=\"1839\" data-end=\"1980\">Finally, use a <strong data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"1889\">stiff-bristled brush<\/strong> to gently rub the stain. Do this carefully, especially if the fabric is delicate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-start=\"1982\" data-end=\"2009\">What type of paint is it?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2134\"><strong data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2041\">Knowing the type of paint<\/strong> you have stained the garment with is essential for choosing the right cleaning method.<\/p>\n\n<h3 data-start=\"2136\" data-end=\"2165\">Water-based paint<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"2167\" data-end=\"2393\">\n \t<li data-start=\"2167\" data-end=\"2233\">\n<p data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2233\">Use <strong data-start=\"2177\" data-end=\"2199\">liquid detergent<\/strong>, either laundry detergent or washing-up liquid.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li data-start=\"2234\" data-end=\"2393\">\n<p data-start=\"2236\" data-end=\"2393\">For more stubborn stains, you can try <strong data-start=\"2281\" data-end=\"2300\">ethyl alcohol<\/strong> or even a little <strong data-start=\"2322\" data-end=\"2333\">acetone<\/strong> (test first on a hidden part of the fabric).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2426\">Oil-based paint<\/h3>\n<ul data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2612\">\n \t<li data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2501\">\n<p data-start=\"2430\" data-end=\"2501\">Here you will need something stronger: <strong data-start=\"2464\" data-end=\"2500\">white spirit or a specific solvent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li data-start=\"2502\" data-end=\"2612\">\n<p data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2612\">Apply the product to the stain and <strong data-start=\"2541\" data-end=\"2571\">leave it to work for a few minutes<\/strong> before putting the garment in the washing machine.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-start=\"2619\" data-end=\"2657\">Need help with your products?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2659\" data-end=\"2935\"><strong data-start=\"2659\" data-end=\"2710\">We hope you find these tips useful<\/strong> and that you manage to rescue those stained garments successfully.
