Then treat it with potassium permanganate (10% solution), and after a few minutes - 2% with oxalic acid. Rinse the product in water and leave to dry completely.
Acrylic paints
If the acrylic paint is made on a water basis, then it will be easy to remove it from things from cotton, otherwise you will have to contact dry cleaning.
