If it's acrylic paint, it's not going to come out. Latex can peel off to an extent, but it will leave residual marks.

@Foodnerd81: My mom gets water based car paint out of my dad's clothes with rubbing alcohol and dabbing not rubbing. I don't know if water based kids paint is the same as what they put on cars these days though, but I can't imagine it would be much different.

@Foodnerd81: There's a stain remover called Amodex (available on amazon) that sometimes works for me on paint/ink - follow the directions on the package for what to do with DRY paint, and don't re-wet it. I'm with you - typically I'd soak that thing in Oxy and hot water and it'd come right out, but I'd be nervous about the glitter design.

If it's on a small area, can you try soaking JUST that area in a small cup of really concentrated oxy/water, or making a paste and applying directly?

@Foodnerd81: ugh...of course she did! If it's any consolation, I've had one of my girls get something all over the back of a dress (like, sitting in the mud), thought "oh well, at least it's the back...then realized she had it on BACKWARDS, so it was actually right in front.

If you think the dress is not really wearable as is anyway, you can try just throwing a scoop of oxy in the washing machine (not soaking). Also, I've never (knock on wood) had BIG glitter graphics peel off - it's been things like carters & old navy leggings with an all-over foil print where the top layer just peels right off and it turns kind of an orange color.

Good luck!

@Foodnerd81: Yeah, we learned a year or so ago that painted pumpkins are the WORST, haha. Also, the squirrels still ate them - and that wasn't a good result, either!

@Littlebit7: @Foodnerd81: Nail polish remover also works in the same way that rubbing alcohol or hair spray does...but I'd be concerned that it would strip the glitter.

@Foodnerd81: agree, don't do it on thin fabric or a light color. The last time I used it (to get out pottery glaze on a pair of eyelet shorts) it left a faint discoloration - but I figured that was better than burgandy paint on the crotch of DD's shorts (yes, really....these kids! )

I swear I'm done! But with three girls and my love of kids' clothes, I've become kind of stain-removal obsessed! Let us know if anything works for you, please!
