HELP
anyone know how to get emulsion paint out of a roller blind...

My roll blind doesn't come off and when i was paintting i mange to a line of white pain right a cross the blind....New one will coast £90 ,am selling my home at the mint and don't have the cash !
Please can some one help

get a line of paint

Is the paint wet or dry?

Wipe first if wet, if dry, try scrubbing with a dry scourer. I've had success with ammonia before now, but depends on what your blind is made of.

the paint dry and made of fabric and its cream/white the paint the same colour

If the blind is made of curtain fabric rather than the usual blind fabric theres not much you can do about it unfortunately. If its the usual stiff blind fabric a rub with a damp nail brush might help.

new blinds are a lot less than £90 - try Wilkinsons.

Wait to dry and shave it off with a rasor

thanks everyone ,, wil try all of the above and let u know
would love *new blinds are a lot less than £90 - try Wilkinsons ,but i have 2 windows and they need to match

If it was painted recently (within last 12 hours or so), water (maybe with a bit of soap) will help.

Isn't the blind sprung so you can squeeze it at the non roller end to dislodge (like a loo roll holder). Agree they are about £10-20 each max in wilkos or argos

If none of that works just make sure the painty bit is hidden in a roll when you have viewings?

Methylated spirit softens emulsion paint so you can scrub it off with WUL.
