Removing Paint Stains from Dried Clothing

RE: Removing Paint Stains from Dried Clothing By peterschleger (1) Contact The common wisdom is that one can't remove dried acrylic paint from fabric. I am an amateur artist and have clothes dedicated to art. This weekend I got liquitex acrylic on two shirts, a leather handbag, and a leather car steering wheel. My hostess had Commercial Line Fantastik Heavy Duty Cleaner and Commercial Line Windex with Ammonia D. I removed the paint everything. Both are Made by the S.C. Johnson Co. Two questions; while the paint had dried, it was a day old. The color was yellow. Are either of these a factor? Paint is created from various ingredients that give it color. Would any other chemicals have done the trick.I now have a bottle of these two cleaners, half and half. I may add some vinegar and ammonia. Alas, a lot of this is pot luck and experimentation.

The paint on the jacket is now dry for one year as I have sent it first to the dry cleaner and it was returned the same way. I did then put the jacket away as it was summer so I did not try once more to remove the dried paint. The question is can I still remove the paint from my 100% nylon winter jacket or do I still keep trying or I get rid of it and purchase a new winter jacket? Please try to help.

(Guest Post) Well, on this cold, rainy night, I was trying to think of something that would make me smile and then I pulled my black knit sweater out of the washer to find dried white paint in spots on the bottom front. I quickly came to research how to get it out. It was especially problematic because the sweater is a very narrow ribbed woolen like knit. I grabbed my bottle of alcohol and went to work with a Q-tip. After just a few minutes of dabbing and rubbing, the dried paint on my black sweater began to thin and then started to completely disappear the more I added alcohol and rubbed. I am so grateful to you all. You saved my beautiful black sweater from the bottom of the Goodwill barrel! Thanks! I'm smiling from ear to ear.
