totally OT

Post by NJMOM » Thu Oct 01, 2015 11:52 am

- paint removal! my husband had paint splash on his pants and new shoes. it was quick drying primer. so, no time to even try to wipe off. any suggestions on how to get this off? not real concerned with the pants, but the shoes! thanks a bunch for any ideas; i'll check back in a bit. :)

Whatever you do, do not let it dry! keep the stain part moist then in the washer with hot water and Oxi Clean, hope this works for you :?

Oh no! :o drying is the worst you can do for stains, I'm not sure what to do then I know it works for my uniforms although it's not for paint though, do a Google search on how to remove paint from clothes you may be lucky and find something that works. Good luck NJMOM!

On the pants, try some Lestoil. It's an old-timey cleaner, but it really works. On the shoes, try scraping as much off as you can, then try some turpentine. If they're leather, then polish them.
