whats gets paint out of carpet ?
I have got little splashes of paint - both gloss and emulsion
 on the carpet after painting and I am looking for advice on how to remove them without doing serious damage... and I have already had the replies from other folk of the following.. 'why not just paint the rest of your carpet'  'cut the painted bits out and replace with bits cut from under something' so for any comedians out there I have heard them all today !! |

Re: whats gets paint out of carpet ?
if the emulsion is not dry then it will wash out with some soapy water, but rinse spot well or it will attract dirt easily... for gloss or dried emulsion, white spirits is a bit too harsh, I have used for small splashes a hand cleaner that is designed to wash paint out of hands but can't remember what it was called!!

Re: whats gets paint out of carpet ?
There's not a lot that will get gloss out bud.
Contact you're insurance, it's what you pay you're premiums for. |

Use clean cloth dipped in white spirit, then use carpet or upholstery shampoo.
Good luck.

Re: whats gets paint out of carpet ?
Just check you have accidental damage cover if you are claiming under you house insurance.
And it will cost you probably £50 Excess.

Re: whats gets paint out of carpet ?
My decorator is coming down tomorrow night (month earlier than expected, how inconsiderate
 ) to discuss fings .. will ask him if anything helps ... suppose as a professional though, doesn't get on the carpet in the first place LOL.Is it a wool or synthetic carpet ? What colour is the paint ? Have you tried anything initially to remove ? |

Re: whats gets paint out of carpet ?
Anything that will actually remove gloss paint is quite likely to remove the colour from the carpet too. Is it really bad?

Re: whats gets paint out of carpet ?
try wd40 then carpet cleaner afterwards works very well for chewing gum its what i used to use on the carpets in the pub.try it on a patch that is not so much on show first but i have never had any problems with carpet afterwards.you need to let wd40 soak in for a few mins first

Re: whats gets paint out of carpet ?
turps might get gloss up but emulsion you have to get up when still wet with soap and water, if it all dried, then god knows!!

Re: whats gets paint out of carpet ?
Vodka is good at removing things, try it, if it dosn't work you could always drink it.

Re: whats gets paint out of carpet ?
If its emulsion then keep it wet. Best bet is to hire one of those carpet cleaners from the HSS Hire shop depending on the area of carpet that has paint on it.
