If you’ve ever had to remove paint from a car seat, you know it’s not an easy task. The paint is thick and resists removal with most common cleaning products. Here are four tips for removing paint from a car seat:
- Use a degreaser. A degreaser like acetone will break down the paint and make it easier to remove. Be careful not to over-degrease the fabric, or the seat may become permanently stained.
- Use boiling water. Boil water in a pot and pour it over the paint area. Let the water cool before using it to clean the fabric. The heat will help soften the paint and make it easier to remove with soap and water.
- Use a scrub brush and soap solution. Scrub the area with a scrub brush dipped in soap solution until the paint is removed. Be sure to rinse off all of the soap before using any other cleaning products on the seat fabric.
- Use rubbing alcohol and cotton balls soaked in rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol will dissolve any remaining paint, while cotton balls will absorb any excess liquid so that it can be wiped off easily later on without leaving any marks or stains behind ..
