Tips on getting paint out of a carpet.

[noonecaresaboutyou]

Are there any tips on how to get dried paint out of a carpet?

I tried when it was wet but potentially made it worse, I saw that rug doctor do a stain remover so I gave that ago, it doesn't seem to have worked.

I'm pulling my hair out, and the thought of shelling out for a new carpet isn't something I planned to do.

Have you got a picture / what type of paint is it?

I found for deluxe emulsion I could get a LOT out with just water and scrubbing tbh. The little flecks are easier as you can imagine, pools harder. Also depends on carpet - some of ours worst case you could cut out as the pile is deep, others it’d be fucked.

Can you claim on your house insurance instead? or get a rug to throw over it. If its gloss then I think it would be very hard to get off if not impossible.

Is it a water based or oil paint ? Is the carpet wool or synthetic ?
