    Here are some ideas to try good luck…

    but to be realistic dried paint is almost impossible to remove.

    Paint (Water-based) – Always read and follow the care instructions and any warnings on the garment label. It may not be possible to remove paint that has dried.

    Act fast, and blot and never rub a stain. Rubbing forces the stain deeper into the fabric.

    Soak in cold water.

    Saturate the area with an aerosol pretreatment laundry stain remover. Wait a couple of minutes to allow it to penetrate. Rub with a heavy duty liquid laundry detergent and then launder immediately in hottest water safe for the fabric.

    If the color remains, launder in chlorine bleach if safe for the fabric or in oxygen bleach (Always read and follow the care instructions on the garment label with respect to the use of bleach, and check for color fastness. Bleach should not be used on items containing spandex).

    For extra heavy stains, apply dry-cleaning fluid to the back of the stain over white, absorbent paper towels. Let it dry. Then, rinse and proceed as above. Always read the label and proceed carefully when using dry cleaning fluid.

    Paint (Oil-based) – Always read and follow the care instructions and any warnings on the garment label.

    Act fast and blot, don’t rub. Rubbing forces the stain deeper into the fabric.

    Try using a thinner recommended for the paint. Usually turpentine or alcohol will work as solvents. However, test an inside seam for color fastness or the potential for other damage first. Spot treat the stained areas until the paint is softened and can be flushed away by agitating in a solution of water and a heavy-duty liquid detergent.

    Launder immediately.

    U could try using some sort of cleaner or something. I think u could also get rid of it by hand washing it with dish soap and warm water for a couple minutes. Hope it works cause stains can be a pain.

    Goo Gone usually works for that kind of thing

    Try some denatured alcohol. There is also a product called "Goof off" that works pretty good on dried paint. Make sure to wash the blanket after using these products.

    Goo Gone is the best thing to get rid of paint. You can also try soaking it with vinagar and water letting it dry then using goo gone treatments till it is gone. I use it on my carpets when i craft paint and get it all over.

    Found this out completely by accedient, (Resolve) Dual Action Spot Remover, I am not sure if this is what it is called. My 15yr old daughter painted her bedroom red and black, she got red paint all over the blush colored carpet in her room. Treated her carpet with this before steam cleaning and it removed the paint.

    Hope it works as well for you.
