How do I get dried latex paint out of clothing?

I have a big mess, smeared latex paint on my clothing, is it possible to get it out? Regular machine washing did nothing!How do I get dried latex paint out of clothing?
We did this at school, for a project, we used rubbing alcohol %26amp; let it soak for about a day and most of it was out, then we used oxi-bleach, so it is color friendly and removes the stain!


-love to help, BrennaHow do I get dried latex paint out of clothing?
maybe try oxi- clean
There is a product used for removing latex from carpet called Mokenbacher that is avail at Lowes. It works on synthetic clothes but I don't know about cotton.
There is a product to clean brushes (paint brushes), buy a Pkg of that and try, if the clothes are ruined anyway.





There is one more thing , if all else fails, and you are going to throw the chlothes out anyway, try Acetone.





DO THIS OUTSIDE, USE INSIDE CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION !!!





Take a drop of acetone and check in an inconspicuous spot whether the acetone will disolve the fibre (some synthetics)





If nothing happens to cloth, Acetone will dissolve latex paint.





LET CLOTHING DRY, CLEAR OF ACETONE BEFORE TAKING INTO HOUSE OR AN EXPLOSION CAN HAPPEN !!
scissors, but then you have holes....
