REMOVE PAINT STAINS FROM YOUR LAWN FURNITURE


Paint stains include stains from water-based or oil-based paints. It is again different from the paint fumes. Each type of paint stain requires a different style of process. The first step is to keep the stained area wet until you can find a reliable lawn furniture repair service provider, or until you can get started with the cleaning process.

Water-based paint stains
Water-based paints include craft paints, latex paints, acrylic paint, finger paints, and others. The first step is to remove any excess paint from the stained area, with the help of a spoon, paint spatula, or a dull knife. The trick is not to use paper towels or cloth. Using paper towels or rags will push the paint more in-depth into the material. Use warm water with liquid detergent for laundry to rinse and soap the stain. Repeat it several times until the stain diminishes. If the paint stain is on a fabric material, use rubbing alcohol and wipe it from the other side of the fabric. Now, use a dull knife to scrape off the paint.

Make sure to use commercial brands of paint remover if it is a dried stain. While choosing paint remover, make sure it is easy on the varnish or wood coating (wood furniture) and fabric (for fabric stains).

Oil-based paint stains
Enamel based paints, oil art products, and others fall under oil-based paint stains. In the case of fabrics, there is no possible solution to remove oil paints if it dries off. Some oil paints come with tips regarding specific paint thinner to use. Some recommend turpentine to work well on all types of oil paints. Use paper towel and turpentine. Do not use abrasive cloths as it would damage the wood coating. Use a small spoon to scrape off the paint (do not scrub). Later, use detergent and hot water to wash the area. While using a paper towel or rag, change it frequently as it absorbs the paint from the surface. Using it for a long time would allow the paint to spread to other areas (especially when the stain is in the fabric part of the furniture).

Each type of wood is different when it comes to absorbing paints or reacting to thinners. Thus, talk to an expert to learn the kind of wood you are dealing with, before choosing a commercial paint remover from the market. The trick is to act on it instantly. If left to dry, it is almost impossible to remove the stain completely, without damaging the material.
