Remove Latex Paint From Clothing

[dieselscout80]

What’s the best way to get latex paint off of clothes?

I tried brush cleaner and Goo-be-gone and then washing them with no luck. They have NOT been ran through the dryer yet just line dried.

Citrus paint stripper works pretty good

Goo-be-gone, or caulk remover works pretty well.

I think Goo-be-gone and Goo-gone are the same thing and i didn’t work.

Subscribed to this thread. I have numerous pairs of jeans with white Latex paint spots. Never found anything yet that removes them. They do fade with time but always present.

The pair of jeans I wear all the time. It's difficult to find the dried on paint blobs. I've used most everything to attempt removal. The final straw - heavy dose of Clorox. That did strip the indigo color out of one leg. So now - a pair of jeans with one blue leg - one white leg and a few dried on paint stains.

This all seems to blend well with the permanent grease stains and the Super Glue spots.

I keep some around for the odd spot and I haven't had issues. I would check the label that the particular product is fabric compatible, as not all are.

All the best,

For me those clothes with paint and grease spots are now dedicated work clothes. Go buy some new ones.
