Water Color Paint. Tips to remove Water Color Paint stains on upholstery

If you have been using watercolor paints, you can get stains out of your upholstery quick and easy using these cleaning tips. 

If the stain is fresh, blot the upholstery stained area with a few papers towels so you can get out as much of the excess liquid as possible, and so you can then focus on the stain itself. If you have a lot of water color paints involved in this spill, using a spoon or butter knife is going to help you get the moisture out of the upholstery as you push into the upholstery with this �harder� object. 

No matter if the stain is fresh or if it is a dried on stain, you should wet the area. Wet the watercolor stained area with a spray of clear water. Blot and dab at the moisture until you have been able to get it all out. Re spray the area as long as you are bringing additional coloring out of the upholstery. 

If you are left with a bit of coloring, a stain in the upholstery still, make a mixture of water and a few drops of clear bleach free detergent. Spray this solution on the upholstery and dab and blot the moisture out so that you are bringing the stain with it. Be sure not to pull too much on the fabric so you don�t stretch out the upholstery. 

Rinse the upholstery watercolor stained area with a spray of clear water. Spray, dab, blot and repeat as needed until you have brought out the entire stain plus you have brought out all the suds and detergent from in the upholstery. 

Give your upholstery one last final cleaning using a half and half solution of vinegar and water. Spray, dab, blot and clean the upholstery so you don�t have any watercolor stain or suds left in the upholstery.
