HELP! How to find finger paints out of clothes? My kids went to a friends house this afternoon in their brand...
My kids went to a friends house this afternoon in their brand current summer outfits and came back covered surrounded by finger paints! The friends mom says it's just principal finger paint. So how do I get this out?
I haven't done anything yet because I don't want the paints to set.
TIA!
QUICK!
get a can of hair spray i perfer
VaVaVoom!
spray right after it
it single comes off whenever u put it right after the stain
also club soda didnt hurt anyone!
don't know if this will work for finger paints but does work on ball point pen ink. spray the article with CANNED HAIRSPRAY, any brand, but must be can. saturate a spot then BLOT it, DO NOT RUB IT, save saturating and blotting till the stains are gone.
may or may not work, but for a dollar or two it's worth a try.
never heard of the hairspray ruining any garments.
polite luck to ya.
Answers: All paints are in truth plastics and dissolve by the following chemicals which should be safe:
Most paints are water base due to the cost of shipping and assembling the paints. First try soaking them in water, the hotter the better as hot hose down will speed up the paint dissolving. Then flush with lots of water.
Soda is a long shot as adjectives it is is carbonated water - meaning if it works next hot water would work just as ably without any cans to instigate.
Lots of paints have acrylics in them too. Acetone (nail polish remover) should break down the chemical bonds surrounded by acrylic allowing it to decompose rapidly, afterwards flush with water.
Hairspray works because of the benzene or alcohol within it. You could also try rubbing alcohol as I'm pretty sure you aren't much of a drinker (vodka would work as well). These also do a great job of dissolving paints.
On white clothes bleach is always appropriate as it attacks the chemicals as well as removes residue.
Beyond that I could tell you stuff that you would inevitability a gas mask and rubber gloves for, but I'm certain that that index will resolve your problem.
And you though I only ever talked almost religion, huh.
Most finger paints are water-soluble... it should come out in the regular clean. Goodluck!
