how to remove acrylic paint from clothes

To remove acrylic paint from clothes, start by acting quickly if the paint is still wet. Scrape off excess paint gently and rinse the stained area with cold water from the back. Then apply dish soap and rub gently before rinsing again. For dried paint, scrape off excess paint and use isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol applied with a cloth or cotton ball to break down the paint, followed by rinsing with cold water. A paste made of baking soda, dish soap, and rubbing alcohol can help remove stubborn dried stains by applying, letting sit for 15 minutes, scrubbing gently, and rinsing. Nail polish remover (acetone) and paint thinner can be used cautiously on some fabrics but may cause damage and should be tested first. Always test any treatment on a small hidden area of the fabric first and wash the garment in cold water after stain removal. Avoid using hot water or drying until the stain is completely gone to prevent setting it permanently.
