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 |
