Laundry Question

[Keikan]

OK i got a question about laundry,

I got a red t-shirt and i got blue paint on it and i'm soaking it and when i wring the water out of the shirt the water is red, is the a bad thing? O and anyone know how to get blue paint out of a red shirt, it's not arcrlyic paint i think, the ones used in painting pictures

[DanB]

is it a new t-shirt? i think pretty much when u get paint on your clothes they're fucked unless its a water based paint

[Keikan]

Ya it's pretty new only washed once, umm i dunno if it's water based, my fatass teacher said it would come off, but he's a fucking lyer

[lady godiva]

you tshirt isnt colour fast by the sounds of it so when you get the paint out add salt to your wash and it will make it colour fast dunno how to get paint out of clothes tho unless its watercolours then you just soak it

[Keikan]

colorfast? what does that mean? :">

[3rd gen noob]

the red water is just die running from the t shirt
is it a relatively new t shirt, and has it been washed many times before?
there shouldn't be any damage to the non-paint affected area, just slight fading

as for the paint, you'll need to give more details on its makeup for any relevant removal info...

[DanB]

think your t-shirt might have had it with the paint then. whatever you do dont put it in the wash with your whites.


then again maybe only i'm that daft!

[lady godiva]

colourfast means that the dye runs when you wash it. the salt fixes the dye to your clothes so it doesnt run ok

[Keikan]

Only washed once

that kind of paint

[3rd gen noob]

this should come out with some soap, water and scrubbing

[Keikan]

I got paint on it and i washed it in a machine, and it didn't come off

[lady godiva]

you have to scrub it by hand with some laundry soap and a nail brush then you should be ok

what cleaning agents did you use in the machine?
have you actually tried scrubbing it?
how long ago did you get paint on it?
how many hours?
