    Ummm... re-dye the clothes?

    As far as I know, varnish/stain won't come out of clothing completely.

    How to Remove Lacquer and Varnish Stains
    By the editors of Consumer Guide


    How to Remove Lacquer and Varnish Stains From:Acetate, Fiberglass, Rayon, Silk,
    Triacetate, Wool

    Scrape (the method of using a dull tool to gently lift off excess solid or caked-on stains) to remove excess. Apply a dry spotter to the stain and cover with an absorbent pad moistened with dry spotter. Let it stand as long as any stain is being removed. Keep the pad and stain moist. Flush (the method of applying stain remover to loosen staining material and residue from stain removers) with a dry-cleaning solvent and allow to dry.


    How To Make Wet And Dry Spotters
    Dry spotter:
    To make a dry spotter, combine 1 part coconut oil (available at pharmacies and health food stores) and 8 parts liquid dry-cleaning solvent. This solution may be stored if the container is tightly capped to prevent evaporation of the solvent. Mineral oil may be substituted for the coconut oil, but is not quite as effective.
    Caution: Dry-cleaning solvents are poisonous and may
    Be flammable.

    Wet spotter:
    To prepare a wet spotter, mix 1 part glycerine, 1 part white dishwashing detergent, and 8 parts water. Shake well before each use. Store wet spotter in a plastic squeeze bottle.

    How to Remove Lacquer and Varnish Stains From:Acrylic Fabric, Burlap, Cotton, Linen, Modacrylic,
    Nylon, Olefin, Polyester, Rope, Spandex

    Scrape to remove any excess lacquer immediately. Flush acetone through the stain to an absorbent pad underneath. When no more stain is being removed, change pads and flush well with a dry-cleaning solvent such as Afta Cleaning Fluid. Allow to dry thoroughly.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hope this helps, as you did not mention the type of fabric of your clothes, I searched for what I could.:)

    How to Remove Lacquer and Varnish Stains From:Leather, Suede

    Carefully scrape to remove excess lacquer. Mix a solution of mild soap in lukewarm water. Swish to create a great volume of suds. Apply only the foam with a sponge. Dry with a clean cloth. If the lacquer has hardened, gently rub it with an emery board or a piece of fine sandpaper. As a thin layer of the hide will also be removed, work slowly and lightly.

    Understand that the person who MAY have the answer to your question may not be online immediately when you post your question. You must be patient at sites like this. It can take minutes, hours, or days to get an answer, but you will get one.

    J-9 is absolutely correct. You have to be patient.

    Poor planning on your part doesn't constitute an emergency on our part.
