How to Remove Paint Splatters from a Vanity

Susan asked: How do I remove latex, semi gloss paint splatters from bathroom vanity top? It’s Dutch Boy brand paint.

When paint splatters on your vanity, it can leave a speckled mess. Luckily, the smooth surface of a vanity does not allow paint to grip as firmly. It’s easy to remove with a few simple steps.

You Will Need:

  • Mild soap
  • Bathroom cleaner
  • Water
  • Nail polish remover
  • Paint stripper
  • Soft cloths
  • Cotton balls

Steps to Remove the Paint:

  1. The amount of effort needed to remove the paint will depend largely on how long it has been there and the condition of the vanity surface.
  2. Start by cleaning the surface and paint splotches with a mild soap or bathroom cleaner.
  3. Scrub the surface gently with a soft cloth. If the paint is fresh, this is often enough to remove the splatters.
  4. If the paint has dried completely and cured to the surface, it will be more difficult to remove. In these cases, you will need something that will strip off the paint. A nail polish remover can be used for light jobs.
  5. Moisten a cotton ball with the nail polish remover.
  6. Rub it over the surface. As soon as the paint is removed, clean the surface with a cleaner and water to remove any residue from the polish remover.
  7. If the paint splatters remain, it will be necessary to use a paint stripper to remove it. Apply this carefully and spot test first to ensure that it does not damage or remove the finish on the vanity.
  8. Once the paint is removed, clean the surface as usual.

Additional Tips and Advice

  • Always start with the least invasive removal method first. Work you r way through the methods as needed.
  • Always spot test a hidden area to ensure the products do not discolor or adversely change the finish of the surface.

I'm a stay-at-home mom who used to run a small housecleaning business. These days I consider myself more or a mad cleaning-scientist. I do most of the testing for our articles - as well as helping Mark & Melanie write them.
