Dd got paint on her clothes at a paint nite. We think it's oil paint, and it has now dried. Hoping not to have to dispose of her clothes.... TIA!

Spray liberal amount of hairspray, spot by spot and while still wet scrub with a toothbrush. Its a job, but always works for me. Good luck!

Have you tried dawn? It works for some paint. I wouldn't use another brand, for some reason dawn works better than other dish soap.
I was also told rubbing alcohol after dawn works well too.

It really depends on what the paint is made out of...

Rubbing alcohol is really good for acrylic paint. Don't know about oil based.
