I did an online search and found the following :
For washable clothing, any one of the following will work. Follow directions on the back of packaging.
Goof Off
Goo Gone
De-Solv-It Contractors Solution
For Dry clean-only clothing:
Take to the cleaners and let them know you have an oil based paint stain so that they can employ a suitable spot treatment.

Correction fluid can really be a mess, but you can usually remove it with rubbing alcohol. Rub it onto the stain with a soft toothbrush and then launder in cool water.

Good luck !
I thought they were supposed to be water based, have you checked the correction fluid bottle? Or was it some other kid who did it? It should flake off when dry, but should come out in the wash.
This could be a permanent stain because each fibre gets coated and as the fluid dries, goes hard. You could try methylated spirits, turps or acetone on a cotton bud to see if any of them might work as a solvent (try them out on an inconspicuous part of the shirt first to avoid further catastrophes!) Otherwise take it to a drycleaner.
http://www.butlersguild.com/index.php?subject=152 Look under Liquid Paper Stains. I would probably tke it to the drycleaners to be safe as they should have something to get it out. Liquid paper is like oil based paint. Hope one of those things works!
Hi, I’d take it to the drycleaners to be safe, since they’d have something to remove it. There’s a website called butlersguild.com, go into the visitors section, then into cleaning on the left hand side, in there there’s a bit on stain removal. I hope something works for you!
Let me hear your balalaika’s ringing ou. Doru Hendrikje.
Many years ago I had the same problem with the brand new same day school blazer. I settled for just colouring the whiteout with the same colour of the blazer. Worked for me. My daughter survived the ordeal!
i think you should take it to the drycleaners, or you should also take it to theuniform shop to see if the cloth can do all that stuff!
hope it works!
