How to remove paint from leather: 3 effective tips

If you cannot remove paint from leather, various home remedies and mild solutions will provide effective results. SSPDaily has collected some tips to help you in this situation.

Oils

Apply a large amount of oil to a paper towel or cotton pad and gently rub the paint stains with it. This will help break down the paint, making it easier to remove. Afterward, wash the area with soap and water to get rid of any residue. This method works well for water-based paints.

Lemon juice solution

Mix equal parts lemon juice and water in a bowl. Soak a cotton ball or cloth in this mixture and gently rub the stained area of the leather.

The acidity of lemon juice helps to remove the paint from the leather without irritating it. Rinse the skin with warm water and repeat the procedure until the paint is completely washed off, if necessary.

Olive oil and sugar scrub

Mix a teaspoon of olive oil with a tablespoon of sugar to form a paste. Apply the product to the paint-stained leather with gentle massaging movements.

Sugar helps to remove the paint, while oil provides moisturizing and helps to dissolve the residues. After peeling, rinse the lether with warm water and then gently apply soap.
