H was painting today and some how managed to spill most of the tin over the washing basket.So now most of the light clothes in there are covered in paint.It isnt gloss paint just noraml stuff but after two washes it hasnt done much at all.So I was wondering if any one knows how to get the stuff off.

Thanks.

    I'm sorry to say that i don't think you'll be able to remove it now. Even emulsion paint stains if it is not soaked in cold water immediately to remove it. Once a "skin" has formed and the paint soaks into the fabric, then it stains unfortunately. Now it's been washed twice the heat of the washing machine will have set the stain too.

    If a whole basket of washing has been damaged, perhaps you could check your home insurance policy to see if it covers accidental damage?
