I keep a back zip onesie just for painting as it doesn't matter if I get paint on this. You just need someone to unzip it when you're finished!

Doing this will scrub the colour out of most fabrics, which is kinda annoying because you want to remove a mark, not create another one. I find the best way is too tackle it as soon as it happens, if possible. Oil based paint is easily removed with mineral spirits/white spirit when wet. "ARGH WHITE SPIRIT ON MY CLOTHES!?" you say? It's OK as long long as it's gently worked into the paint to remove and then immediately washed out with warm soapy water. It's very important not to scrub with any hard abrasive type brush etc.. as this will remove the fabric colour and damage the fibers. Caustic soda solution has always been used for removing paint so you could try that and remember the same rules apply. It goes without saying that you should be wearing protective gloves (solvent resistant nitrile, not latex etc..) and goggles when using harmful chemicals.

I sprayed a really strong oven cleaner on mine (Mr Muscle is the best) left it overnight and sponged it off in the morning. If you cant get Mr Muscle in the states, just get a very strong one.

I got wall paint on my yoga pants, and then I washed it with my fuzzy blanket. The paint completely transferred to the blanket, and now there's blue paint on it. I have no idea what kind of paint it was, and I don't want to ruin my blanket. I've tried peeling the pieces of paint out but the furs were ripping too. Help?
