Getting White Out off of clothes and stuff

PhillyGirl · 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.
