What if you don’t have paint thinner? Raid your bathroom cabinet! Hairspray is a secret weapon—the alcohol in it breaks down many paints.

Spray it directly on the stain, let it sit for 30 seconds, then blot with a clean cloth. Just don’t use your roommate’s expensive hairspray unless you want a feud.

Nail polish remover (with acetone) also works wonders, but test it first on colored fabrics. Acetone can strip dye faster than a bad breakup.

The Drying Dilemma

Here’s the trap: Never, ever put the garment in the dryer until the stain is completely gone. Heat is the enemy—it sets the paint for eternity.

Instead, air dry it, and if a shadow remains, repeat the steps. Patience is your paintbrush here.

Pro tip: If the stain is still visible after drying, freeze the garment. Cold makes dried paint brittle, so you can chip it off with a butter knife. It’s oddly satisfying.
