Getting dried paint off microfiber??

I painted my living room yesterday and didnt realize I got a strip of paint on the edge of the couch. Luckily its in a spot where I can put a blanket over it without DH knowing. Does anyone know if I can get this out??!!! DH is gonna flip! He's gonna say, 'I TOLD YOU SO' if he finds out I did that and I hate when he says that!!!

I don't know about paint specifically, but I have a microfiber couch as well, and we get crap on it all the time, you name the food, it's been spilled on the couch, and it all washes out. I just use a mild handsoap and water and you'd never tell. It still looks untouched.

Thanks for the reply. This gives me hope. Im gonna make a trip to Home Depot soon to try and find paint thinner and see if that works.

Don't use painthinner - you may stain your couch.

Try to scrape off the paint as much as possible, gently with a credit card or a metro card.
If anything remains, I would contact the store where you bout the couch or the manufacturer directly to find out what you could safely use.

Noooo, don't use paint thinner, that may bleach/stain/discolor your couch. Try soap and water, becuase even if it doesn't work, it won't hurt the microfiber.
