Arrgghh - acrylic paint on school uniform

How bad is it? Can I get it out? It wasn't even in Art when they would use aprons, it was in bloody RS!

Small-ish spots on her skirt, jumper and (washable) blazer. Any tips please?

I would let it dry then pick off the spots, then wash as normal

It is really hard to get off once dry, as it is basically a plastic. Sorry that's not very helpful! You could try some antibacterial hand gel but test a hidden area of the clothing first to make sure it doesn't affect the colour of the fabric.

If it is only a small amount, it might come off with multiple washes, but generally once it's dry then it's there forever.

Obviously not the news you want to hear, but I work with acrylics all the time & have ruined lots of my own clothes with them. Sending Thanks & lots of Gin!!!

Pick off as much as possible, then this. Good luck!
