How to Remove Paints from Clothes
A) To remove WET paint from clothes:
- For WATER-BASED paints
Scrape as much as possible off the surface of the clothing, then use plenty of running water to away the rest. Rub gently or use a soft brush to dislodge any stubborn remaining paint from the fibers (be very careful if treating wool or silk). Make sure all the paint is gone, and then the clothing can be washed as normal.
- For OIL-BASED paints
Scrape as much as possible off the surface of the clothing, and then use a simple detergent - undiluted to dissolve the paint. You will probably have to use quite a lot. Keep adding it until you are sure that all the paint is 'loose' from the clothing. Then, and only then, start rinsing, with plenty of plain cold water. Once you're sure all the paint is gone, the clothing can be washed as normal.
B) To remove DRIED paint from clothes:
- For WATER-BASED paints
Soak the clothing for at least 24 hours in cold water. Then, as for wet paint, rub gently or use a soft brush to dislodge any stubborn paint from the fibers. Make sure all the paint is gone, and then the clothing can be washed as normal.
-For OIL-BASED paints
You will almost certainly be unable to scrape the paint off the surface of the clothing. You will probably have to use a commercially-produced paint remover: be sure to read the instructions CAREFULLY as to whether it is usable on the material from which your clothes are made. Again, once you're sure all the paint is gone, the clothing can be washed as normal.
You could also use paintbrush cleaner, available from any DIY store, but I would not recommend this for any artificial fabrics, or for wool or silk.
Of course, prevention is always best - wear old clothes for decorating, or craft activities, or cover up with an overall.

Do It Yourself???
Do it yourself, often referred to by the acronym "DIY," is a term used by various communities that focus on people creating things for themselves without the aid of paid professionals. Many DIY subcultures explicitly critique consumer culture, which emphasizes that the solution to our needs is to purchase things, and instead encourage people to take technologies into their own hands.
