Isn't there one of those "stain devil" things for water based paints?

Try Asda or a hardware store were they sell them Stain Devil things

Chrimbo is coming, why not put it on the list for Santa ??

Isn't emulsion water based, so won't warm soapy water work, eventually ??

I too wouldn't think of changing before painting, reckon we've all been there.

Thumbs up

Go out and buy some Wickes Paintbrush Cleaner, the blue stuff.
Put some in a bowl like a cereal bowl, about 2cm, then drape the T over it, push the painted bit below the liquid level, and leave for about 2 hours.

When you come back to it, the paint will pick off, and the PBR is water soluble so rinse then wash as normal.

Done it loads of times!
