Solution:
Lets face it, paint spills are a big mess, but they don't
have to be permanent. I have some easy tips to help you
get rid of any latex paint stain.
 On fabric and carpeting act as quickly as possible,
scrape up as much as you can with an old spoon. Have
several damp white cloths on hand. Blot the stain to
absorb the paint, switching rags as each becomes
saturated. Once most of the stain is gone clean well with
warm soapy water. For carpeting, put a white towel over
the area and walk on it to remove excess moisture. Then,
allow it to dry completely.
Drop cloth didn't quite do the job on your wood floors?
Don't worry; dried paint on wood can be removed by
spreading a thin layer of olive oil over the stain. Let it
sit for five minutes and then buff it out with some quad
zero steel wool. When the stain is removed clean the area
with a damp cloth.
Splotches on plastic, glass, and bathroom surfaces can
be removed by holding a cloth saturated in rubbing alcohol
over the spill to soften it, then use a razor blade to
easily scrape it away. |
