Stain remover

[Van Chocstraw]

What will remove that purple pvc cleaner from pvc, washing machines and stuff.

[Frank]

I suspect acetone or nail polish remover will work but be careful as they will dissolve PVC.

[DanG]

Good luck! To my knowledge absolutely nothing will remove the purple. The best plan was to cover and mask before opening that can. You might try a bit of Ajax or toothpaste to try to polish off the surface. If the primer has gone in deep, no chance.

[Chris Hill]

Only thing I know of is time.

[HeyBub]

If all else fails, white paint?

[Ulysses]

Like Frank said acetone will probably work. Or MEK or methyl alcohol. Why do you want to remove it from the PVC? Just for the appearance? Did it get on any clothes?

[Van Chocstraw]

Spray paint sounds good.

[Ulysses]

I occured to me that I should add: start out using it on a Q-tip with only a small amount on the cotton tip and carefully test the surface that you want to remove the purple stuff from and make sure it's not going to remove whatever it is you are trying to remove it from. I'd start out by trying acetone, perhaps lacquer thinner, then MEK, and, as a last resort, methyl alcohol. Use small amounts of solvent at first until you are confident that it will not damage the stained surface.

Or just about any paint or plastic.

Steel wool.

I'd try a cotton towel, and a blast of clear PVC solvent. See if that loosens up the purple stuff. Wipe off, immediately.
