Removing emulsion from fleece help please

Fruball

Hi

I have managed to get emulsion paint on a fleece jumper by accident and wondered if there is any way of getting it out - its not deep inside the fabric, more like i have brushed up against wet paint.

I have no idea what to try

Thank you all

emulsion should come off ok, put it in a basin of water and rub gently then machine wash

I'd try soaking the fleece for several hours in warm water with a little Liquid Ariel or even some Fairy Liquid added. Then try sponging it off, gently rubbing in the same direction.

I agree with what's already been said, but just in case there's any left, you could try very lightly shaving it.

It hasn't come out despite rubbing and washing - shaving might work tho thank you

Any other ideas ?

Personally, I would have let it dry and physically picked it off bit by bit. As emulsion paint is water based, washing can get it further into the fibres.

Soak it again (maybe in trusty old Stardrops?) and give it another wash?

i have just finished painting a room with emulsion and had no bother getting the paint off my clothes with water, gloss paint is another matter
