How do I remove salicylic acid residue from fabric?
I have spilled Compound W (salicylic acid) on a shirt? As on my skin it creates a white coating that doesn’t simply Wash Off. How do I remove it. I am sure it has not permanently stained the fabric. It’s sort of like dried latex paint.
Salicylic acid is actually pretty soluble in water — the carrier they tend to use for these sorts of products is not water-soluble, however. Try dripping some on a similar fabric and letting it dry, then try to remove it with acetone, nail polish remover, Goo Gone and/or carburetor cleaner. What I’ve smelled with most liquid OTC wart removers seems to be ether, and the stuff that dries appears to be collodion.
