How to remove finger paint stains

Fabric softener can leave your garment smelling fresh and clean, but if used incorrectly or spilled down your shirt it can leave greasy looking stains behind. You’ll want to treat these with the hottest water setting that’s safe for your garment, but the good news is that fabric softener is easy to wash out with a good washing detergent with bleaching agents, like Ariel. If you find these stains keep cropping up after the wash, maybe your fabric softener dispenser is clogged, so you might want to give your washing machine a thorough clean. With a few simple Ariel stain solutions, fabric conditioner stains can be removed in a few easy steps. Ariel has got you covered.

Removing finger paint stains

    Pour Ariel Original Washing Liquid directly onto the stain.

  • 3

    Dose

    Add correct dose to your washing machine’s dispenser drawer, being careful to use the correct dose of washing detergent.

  • 4

    Wash

    Load your finger paint stained garments along with other similar garments and wash on your usual cycle, following your garment’s care label.

  • 5

    Unload

    When the cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately.
