• Then spray 4-5 squirts of hairspray and then wet the cloth with nail polish remover. Hold for 10-15 seconds.
• Make sure that all the 3 cleaners are applied on the same spot on the cleaning cloth.
• Use the wet cloth now to scrub the acrylic paint away. Scrub as hard as you can, without damaging the clothing item.
• You need to change the cleaning cloth once it picks up the acrylic paint off. Wet it with the same amount of cleaning agents every time.
• In the end, all there's left to do is wash the cloth in warm water so that the cleaning agents are removed.
