How to Get Dried Paint Off Furniture
- 1). Scrape the paint splatters gently with a utility knife or metal putty knife to remove as much of the dried paint as you can. A paint spot on wood furniture with a glossy finish should pop right off.
- 2). Look for an inconspicuous spot on your furniture where you can test a paint remover product. For hard surfaces, apply the product directly to the stain. Wait a minute or two, depending on the directions on your product.
- 3). Spray the paint remover product onto a white cloth for upholstry furniture, and wait for it to work for several minutes.
- 4). Use a clean rag to remove the chemical and, hopefully, the stain. If the stain isn't gone, repeat the application, wait a few minutes and rinse with a clean rag.
- 5). Clean the area with a gentle household soap to remove any remaining stair or product. For leather or suede, Dove soap is recommended, followed by a gentle rubbing with an old terry cloth wash cloth.
