Almost everyone has jeans in their wardrobe. Now they’re nowhere without them: to visit, to the store, to work and for a walk. But sometimes on favorite trousers we find spots of paint. We have to urgently seek information on how to quickly clean ordinary jeans from paint and preserve their original appearance.
Gentle methods
If the paint has just appeared on the denim of the trousers, then you can immediately send the pants to the wash. The stain has not yet had time to penetrate deeply into the fibers of the fabric and is easily washed off in a washing machine.
Other stain removal methods:
- It is easy to remove such contamination by preparing a soapy solution in warm water. You can simply clean up a fresh stain with laundry soap or intensive brushing.
- If it is noticeable that the paint begins to go away, it is better to soak the pants for several hours. After time, jeans can be washed and rinsed. This method is effective for eliminating water-based and acrylic contaminants.
- A good dishwashing liquid, along with washing powder, is good. The paint will easily come off when cleaning with such a tool.
- Spot stain remover is also great. Due to its specific composition, it will perfectly cope with recent pollution. To begin with, the pants should be soaked in a stain remover, and only then removed in the washing machine.
- To make it easier to remove impurities, the stain can be soaked with glycerin. The product must be applied liberally to the fabric for 30 minutes, and then the pants should be removed with the addition of a stain remover.
If jeans turned out to be expensive and their owner really likes, then you should think about going to dry cleaning. Experts say that the stain, which occupies more than 15% of the surface of jeans, is not easy to remove at home. Better to think: maybe it will be cheaper to purchase new trousers.

The most common option for peeling jeans is acetone. He is magically able to remove even the oldest and dried spots on his trousers. The only warning you need to be aware of is the ability of acetone to leave marks on clothing.Therefore, it will be more rational to use it on light jeans. The contamination is wetted with a small amount of the product, and after the dissolution of the paint is finished, it is treated with soap and washed.
The solvent has a similar effect. After cleaning the trousers, you should definitely wash off the clothes - the product has a sharp unpleasant odor. White spirit removes stains of oil paint well.
If nothing of the kind is at hand, then you can try using gasoline. It is applied to contamination until the stain is completely dissolved. Then you need to carefully remove the pigment of paint from the fabric with soap and wash the item.
An effective mixture can be prepared from equal proportions of gasoline and clay. The paste is applied to the paint, and after drying, the clay needs to be cleaned.
Gasoline easily dissolves not only paint, but also varnishes, fat. Kerosene may well replace gasoline.
Old dried stains will help remove turpentine. After processing, it is better to wash the product with a concentrated solution prepared from water and ordinary soda. If a spot of oil paint appears on the jeans, then first you need to remove it with turpentine, and then kerosene. After processing, the pants are washed.

- possible damage to the fibers of the fabric or color;
- unpleasant odor difficult to remove.
