Son was painting easter eggs and stained cream-colored upholstered chair. How to clean?

OK, he's only 19 months old but he completely trashed 2 dining chairs by overturning a pot of violet-colored easter egg paint onto the cream-colored chairs. The chairs are upholstered without a cover and now have large splatter stains across the seating surfaces. Can anyone recommend any method or product with which to clean them?

Stain Removal Step 1.

Get to the stain as quickly as possible.



Stain Removal Step 2.



Mix 1/2 tsp. of dishwashing liquid with 1/2 cups of lukewarm water. Do not use automatic dishwasher liquid or laundry detergent.



Stain Removal Step 3.



Rub the detergent solution into the stained portion of the fabric. Work it in gently using a clean white cloth.



Stain Removal Step 4.



Continue blotting up the stain as long as it will transfer to the white cloth.



Stain Removal Step 5.



Repeat with detergent solution and be patient.



Stain Removal Step 6.



For last ditch efforts test ammonia (1 tablespoon mixed with 1 cup of water) in a hidden spot. Ammonia is notorious for changing carpet color, so use with caution.



Stain Removal Step 7.



If there is no color change on the test spot, try sponging the egg dye stained area with the ammonia solution.



Stain Removal Step 8.



If the stain still remains, or ammonia is not an option, try a carpet spot stain remover.



Stain Removal Step 9.



Rinse the area thoroughly with cold water.

Reply:peroxide!



you are lucky they are beige! peroxide wouldn't fix it if they were a darker color, but you can pour on the peroxide and blot it with paper towels and most likely get it all off now!
Reply:Check on the tin as to what type of paint. If it says waterproof try methylated spirits on a small area of the cloth b4 you clean. Dab and pat dry as you go once you have done the test. Hopefully lifting off the paint as you go. Try ringing the manufactors as asking for thier advice. You may think you sound thick but you won't be the first to ask. Manufactures use solvents to clean their machines when they change production of colour so they have to use something. Ask for the Research and developement manager if you are getting now where with your first contact.
