Fluff and Fold Raleigh NC: Remove paint from your clothing with ease with this DIY tip!
Do you ever get wrapped up in a DIY project and forget to take your “good” clothes off before you start painting? Almost all DIY-ers have been guilty of this at one time or another. It’s so easy to convince yourself that you just plan to do a little painting, so there’s no need to go to the trouble of changing into work clothes. It’s fine, until you get that dreaded spot of paint on your favorite jacket or pair of shoes.
Fluff and Fold Raleigh NC | Remove Paint From Your Clothing
Below, you’ll find a detailed list of all the things you can do when trying to remove dried paint from your clothing. This list, courtesy of askannamosely.com, will come in handy at some point, so be sure to save it!
1. Lay the painted clothing item flat on a clean surface such as the kitchen counter, dining room table, etc.
2. With short, quick motions “shave” the paint off of the clothing item.
3. Repeat the “shaving” motion, being careful to not press too hard, until all the paint is gone.
4. Once the paint is gone remove the paint debris with your finger or a damp cloth.
The reason this technique works so well is because it shaves off the paint layer off the clothing surface. So, the next time you forget to change into work clothes before getting geared up for a DIY painting project and end up wearing more paint that you intended to, don’t beat yourself up over the oversight, just use this little trick to remove the paint!
This tip was actually derived from the technique for getting lint off of sweaters. It’s a great time to try this out on your sweaters, as the weather is much cooler now! Instead of getting rid of old, unsightly sweaters with lint “pills” all over them, revamp them and give them new life!
