How-To: Remove Acrylic Paint From Clothing

How_to_remove_acryllic_paint.jpg

I can't tell you how many pieces of clothing in our house have been ruined with acrylic paint spills (especially in the case of my kids). Claudine Hellmuth shares a quick method that she says works to remove acrylic paint from clothes about 99% of the time. I like those odds, and will be sure to try this the next time we have a spill!

Rubbing alcohol also works to removes ink and permanent marker from surfaces like your kitchen counter! Just don't use it on acrylic/plastic surfaces (obviously!) Because just like it removes acrylic paint, it will also eat away at the finish of acrylic surfaces!
