In case you are dealing with a stain from gloss paint you can follow the same steps to get it out of your carpet. After spraying it or applying it to the stain you ll want to use a putty knife to lift up as much of the dried paint as you can. 100 acetone or hydrogen peroxide are suitable alternatives if you do not have paint cleaner available. Wet a cleaning cloth with a bit of paint cleaner and start blotting the area.

Once you ve removed the dried paint then you need to focus on the fibers of the carpet as there is still going to be stuff there. Pass over the stain multiple times until the spot is fully saturated. Start by cleaning the area with an upright or handheld carpet cleaner and cleaning solution. Repeat to remove as much of the paint as possible.

Yeah patience is the key of this process because you have to repeat this process multiple times until the paint is completely soaked. Blot and pick up the dried particles until the stain is removed. To remove dried paint with either chemical start by scraping the paint stain with a razor blade or knife to get as much of the paint off as you can before you apply the chemical. Clean the area with a steam cleaner to remove the paint.

Rinse the area using a solution of mild dishwashing detergent and lukewarm water. You may also remove dried paint with nail polish remover or paint thinner. Once dry vacuum the carpet to rejuvenate the fibres. The last thing you want to do is force the paint into the fibers of the carpet.

Wait 5 minutes then gently scrape up loosened paint using the putty knife. Wear protective gloves when cleaning the carpet with toxic chemicals to protect your hands. You don t need anything fancy for this. Do this gently so you are not tearing the carpet fibers or pulling it out.

Mix a cup of lukewarm water with one teaspoon of dishwashing detergent just make sure the detergent is mild. Wipe the edge of your putty knife with a clean rag often as you lift away old paint. Dab a cloth in acetone hydrogen peroxide or paint thinner and blot the stain to remove. If the paint does not come up easily wait another 5 minutes and try again.
