How to Get Latex Paint Out of Levis

Leaning against or sitting on freshly painted surfaces causes paint to rub off onto skin and clothing. Luckily, water-based latex paint on Levis is moderately easy to remove due to the durable nature of denim fabric. You can remove most latex paint stains with common household cleaning supplies.

      Blot the stained area with a sponge dipped in a 50 percent liquid dish soap solution. Rinse the stained area to remove the soap and repeat until the stain is gone. If the stain remains, blot it with acetone.
