How to Remove Fresh Paint from Jeans: A Step-by-Step Guide

Preview

Getting paint on your jeans can be frustrating, especially if they're your new pair of Frame skinnies or beloved vintage Levi's. But don't worry, there's a way to fix it!

If the paint is still fresh, scrape off any excess with a knife or similar utensil. Then, dab the stained area with a towel soaked in warm water.

Next, soak the denim in isopropyl rubbing alcohol. This is a handy item to keep around for first aid, cleaning electronics, and even laundry.

Rub the fabric against itself, and then scrub it with a cleaning brush or toothbrush against the grain of the fabric. This helps lift as much of the paint off as possible.

Once you've done that, rinse the stain in warm water. Finally, toss the jeans in the washing machine and wash them alone in hot water. Hopefully, your jeans will be as good as new!
