Washable Fingerpaint on Clothing or Fabrics

1. Before laundering, rinse the stain from fabric with hot water until no more color can be removed.

2. Wash in hot water with laundry detergent for about 12 minutes (heavy soil cycle). Do not put the garment in the dryer.

3. Soak in a solution of Oxi Clean or Clorox 2® according to the instructions on the container for one hour. Let the garment air dry.

4. Repeat laundering should remove any residual stains. Do not heat-dry between washings.
