Default Polluted soil repair?

'Mike' wrote:

I wonder if someone can give me some advice. I'd finished some
painting using water based paints and had just washes the brushes,
etc, in a bucket of water. I, inadvertently, poured this water over
a patch of soil in the garden (yes, yes, I know, I know) and now
I'm on vision only with SWMBO as she's complaining that the soil is
now polluted.

What's the score? How long would it take for the soil to repair
itself? Is there anything I can do to help it out?

Any assistance gratefully received.

Chuck some more buckets of clean water over it and it should dilute
it. Water based not too much problem I wouldn't think


That's what I thought. Now I've got to convince SWMBO.
