To Shannon,
I removed all stains from the floor with AFTA. You can buy it in any hardware store. Good luck!

After spilling white out on a new shirt the other day, I went to this web site to see if there were any answers. I'm going to try the WD40, and from now on only use the white out dry pen. That liquid stuff is dangerous.

i have like a windbreaker-type BLACK jacket with lining and it spilled onto the top layer I don't think it would be logical to soak WD40 from both ways. I know it got through the top thin layer, but I'm not sure about the rest. PLEASE PLEASE HELP
My mom bought it for me in HONG KONG. )))):

Gee! I have the same issue I am on my way with the WD-40. Though I find it so NOW normal for his to happen! I have a 3year old TOO! And from what Ive just read, I know feel like my son didn't really do anything unusual, by sneaking a bottle of white-out and painting his clothes, bed & the floor!

While I was asleep dying with the flu! After reading this helpful info page. I'm proud to say I'm not irritated by his actions any further. Though I am curious what it is that draws them to the white-out? The Smell? It cant possibly be cause its like paint? or could it?

WD-40 sprayed & SOAKED onto the spot soiled/stained with white out works wonders. I had gotten a new bed comforter for Christmas and my 4 year old spilled the bottle on it hours before I found it. I tried oxiclean, alcohol and detergent nothing worked. Days later someone told me WD-40 works and boy did it.

I recently got white out on my brand new pair of designer jeans. first, I spot washed the areas with soap and cold water. then i used liquid detergent with cold water. Some came off but the stains were still there. I waited a week and I tried WD-40 on the stain, and then washed the jeans. That didn't work either.

Then I went to Home Depot and bought Liftoff Latex-Based Paint Remover #5 which is a water-based biodegradable product specifically for clothing. I used that oh the areas, scrubbed lightly with an old toothbrush, then used Shout on the stains, and put the jeans in the washing machine. They came out perfectly clean! I also used this product on a sweater and the white out stains were easily removed.

I was whiting something out and the bottle tipped onto my gray shirt. The shirt is fairly thin. I've tried sunscreen and goo gone, neither worked. What else can I do?

I just used the Tide To Go instant Stain Remover (Orange Pen) on my son's French-horn hard case and it worked perfectly. It did not damage the plastic on the case and removed everything (He had written his name with White-out in big letters on it)
Good luck

Use WD 40 liberally on both sides of the stain. Allow the WD-40 to penetrate through the stain. The stain will begin to loosen. Test by touching the stain. Small flecks of the white out should begin to come loose. Rinse thoroughly.

Step 2.

Lay the clothing on a clean white towel. Sponge nail polish remover onto both sides of the stain. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat the application of nail polish remover and continue to rinse until the stain is removed. Rinse the stained area thoroughly.

Step 3.

Finally, to remove any hidden traces of the stain, apply a stain stick, spray, or gel to the stained area and wash normally.

White Out usually is encrusted on top of the fibers - so sometimes you can scrape it off carefully with a sharp edge like a razor blade.

Try WD-40 make sure you spray on both sides of the stain.

White Out Removal 12/16/2005
1. Sponge with Acetone (unless fabric contains acetate)

2. Tamp with a spoon

3. Flush with rubbing alcohol

Correction Fluid, White Out - Always read and follow the care instructions on the garment label. And, follow these General Rules for stain removal.

This is a real tough one, and may be permanent. It can penetrate into the fabric and when it dries coats the fibers in a harden "plaster." Unless there are instructions on the product label, you can try specific stain removal products available at the grocery or drug store, such as Carbona's Stain Devils or take the stain to your dry cleaner and tell them to treat it as a paint stain.
