Title: Getting White Out off of clothes and stuff
Post by: PhillyGirl on October 03, 2005, 02:52:39 PM
Anyone know how to do that? My bottle of White out exploded all over my shoes, the carpet in my office, my desk, etc. How in the hell does this stuff come out?  :'(

Try nail polish remover (acetone).  If that doesn't work, there's always toluene (Gum Out, the solvent in model glue).

I immediately put carpet cleaner all over the rug and its not coming out. I was thinking if I got to it before it got all hardened, it would come out.


Oh geez, its all over my face now too.

I Googled it...

QuoteWhite Out Stain Removal

Step 1.

Use WD 40 liberally on both sides of the stain. Allow the WD-40 to penetrate through the stain. The stain will begin to loosen. Test by touching the stain. Small flecks of the white out should begin to come loose. Rinse thoroughly.

Step 2.

Lay the clothing on a clean white towel. Sponge nail polish remover onto both sides of the stain. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat the application of nail polish remover and continue to rinse until the stain is removed. Rinse the stained area thoroughly.

Step 3.

Finally, to remove any hidden traces of the stain, apply a stain stick, spray, or gel to the stained area and wash normally.

No, attempting to get this shtein off the carpeting is making my head explode.

Leave the white out on. That shtein is fire.

after thinking about this, i think the only solution is to cover the rest of your office in white out.

I've been told the same company that makes white-out makes a remover ???
Title: Re: Getting White Out off of clothes and stuff
Post by: MadMarchHare on October 03, 2005, 04:33:36 PM
As mentioned above - get Gum Out.  Stinks like shtein, but if acetone can break it down, I'd be shocked if toluene wouldn't completely dissolve it.

PG- For the carpet: Get dish detergent (preferably Dawn), a damp cloth, a dry cloth, nail polish remover and a scrub brush.

Flake off as much of the dry stuff, with your fingernail, a fork, whatever, as you can and vacuum. Squirt just enough dish detergent to soak the spots. Don't overdo it or you'll have bubbles for days. Don't add water. Just use the detergent. Let it sit for about a half hour. Attack with scrub brush. Move in circles, up and down, switch direction on and off. After every 30 seconds or so of scrubbing, wipe and pat with damp cloth to pick up the loosened gunk.

Continue until soap and whitness is gone. If you can't get it all out, or it won't break down from that cement-like finish, use the dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as you can and pour a SMALL amount of nail polish remover on spots. Let sit no longer than 30 seconds. Scrub, scrub, scrub, while also patting it down with a very damp cloth. It will dilute it enough to keep the carpet from losing color and/or the fiber having a meltdown, yet still be strong enough to break down the Wite-Out.

That should do it.

What kind of shoes? Leather? Suede? ...

take out the nail polish remover and you're describing a much more interesting act

I was just wondering how PG was thinking that a bunch of guys would know how to get whiteout out of the carpet or a pair of shoes.


Well... GF, maybe.  ;)
