Accidentally getting paint on your outdoor cushions can be frustrating, but don’t worry—there are several effective ways to remove paint splatters without damaging the fabric. Here’s a step-by-step guide to restoring your cushions to their original condition.

1. Act Quickly: Fresh paint is easier to remove. If the paint is still wet, blot it gently with a clean cloth to absorb as much as possible. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.

2. Scrape Off Dried Paint: For dried paint, use a dull knife or plastic scraper to carefully lift off excess paint. Be gentle to avoid tearing the fabric.

3. Use Rubbing Alcohol or Vinegar: Dampen a cloth with rubbing alcohol or white vinegar and dab the stain. These solvents can break down latex or acrylic paint. Test on a small area first to ensure colorfastness.

4. Apply Dish Soap and Water: Mix mild dish soap with warm water and gently scrub the stain with a soft brush or sponge. Rinse with clean water and let the cushion air dry.

5. Try a Commercial Stain Remover: For stubborn stains, use a fabric-safe stain remover. Follow the product instructions and rinse thoroughly.

Prevention Tip: Cover cushions when painting nearby or store them away to avoid future mishaps. With these methods, your outdoor cushions will look as good as new!
