Removing Spray Paint Overspray
Stupidly I thought all was protected when I used some spray paint inside. Little did I know that the overspray traveled that far. Is there a way of safely cleaning the overspray from the carpet and furniture (wood and fabric)? Thanks so much for any advice, besides never using spray paint indoors again!

Things you'll need: wood board clean rags olive oil turpentine detergent terry cloths plastic putty knife pressure washer wire brush lacquer thinner fabric Step 1 Lay the fabric flat on top of a wood board. Step 2 Apply a few drops of olive oil to the over-spray. Step 3 Allow the olive oil to soak into the over-spray for four minutes. Scrape away the over-spray with a plastic putty knife. Step 4 Wipe the olive oil from the fabric with a rag dampened with turpentine. Step 5 Wash the fabric with dish-washing detergent. Brick and cement Step 1 Remove as much of the over-spray as possible with a pressure washer. Step 2 Apply lacquer thinner to the over-spray. Step 3 Scrape away the over-spray with a wire brush.
