Cleaning Laundry : Is It Safe To Use Paint Stripper On A Childs Little Tikes Slide To Get Rid Of Paint Splashes

I bought my daughter a second hand slide yesterday but when Ive washed it its covered in paint flecks which wont come off with scubbing. I was wondering if paint stripper would be ok on the plastic? ~~~ Grace's_Mommy ~~~

Best Answer To Cleaning Laundry Question

NO NO NO. paint strippers are VERY toxic chemicals that will melt plastic. it would ruin the slide fairly quickly. As the other answer stated, use Krud Kutter. it is a water based, mild cleaner that removes dried latex paint. i use it to clean paint out of clothes, but it is strong enough to use around the store to clean up paint spills. read any paint stripper can, it will say not to use on plastic. you should find Krud Kutter at most hardware/paint stores. the other thing that might help is using fingernails/hard plastic to try to scrape the paint off.

Answer 1

sure use it then use clorox then let set a day or too wash with soap and water

Answer 2

Its unlikely, the paint stripper will probably melt the plastic. Test on an iconspicuous area first make sure you wash it down thouroughly after.

Answer 3

test it on a nonstructural unimportant hidden part of slide just a drop should do

Answer 4

As long as you dont pour it straight on the slide and let it sit, it should work well. Put a little on a rag, and wipe it. You may have to do this several times...after that, just wash with soapy water, rinse well, and let your daughter enjoy her new toy!

Answer 5

It should be alright. Just dont use a whole lot of it. And wipe it down with a soapy rag when done.

I would try nail polish remover first--it works great on getting off almost anything!! Works wonders on permanent Markers!! So good luck with the paint!! :)
