Archives: Request: Removing Paint From Carpet Archived on 07/08/2009 After painting the interior walls of my house, my son stepped in the paint tray and walked on the carpet. Any ideas on how to get the paint out of the carpet that doesn't cost and arm and a leg? By Tracy3015 from NY Feedback: RE: Removing Paint From Carpet Remember that products like WD-40 and nail polish remover are highly flammable, so be sure to totally remove them. WD-40 can be removed with GOOP hand cleaner, but I'd try the nail polish remover first.

Nelliemary from WV Feedback: RE: Removing Paint From Carpet I want to thank Leah, I used the nail polish remover and it work very well. I even used it for an old paint stain that I had and the paint came off very easily. Thanks again!

(03/27/2008) By Jessica RE: Removing Paint From Carpet Hydrogen Peroxide can take out paint -- it's what I'm using right now. I don't have the other products on hand, but am going to give them a try to see if they work better, once the peroxide runs out. I accidentally got paint on my carpet when I was painting the stairs, and its coming out okay. I'm having to scrub it with a white cloth, and it's stubborn, but it is coming out. You may want to test for colorfastness though, I'm using it on light-colored (beige) carpet, and it doesn't seem to be a problem, but it's possible that on dark carpet, it might remove some of the color.

Worked like a charm. (08/08/2008) By Ana RE: Removing Paint From Carpet My son decided to throw a paint can and it came open when it hit the carpet. We read this post, so we picked up some nail polish remover. With time scrubbing and more than one application, it came up. Make sure you get acetone nail polish remover. (11/26/2008) By C. Stopford RE: Removing Paint From Carpet Non-acetone generic brand worked well, too. (12/27/2008) RE: Removing Paint From Carpet I had no nail polish remover but had pure acetone, worked like a charm. I took bright pink paint off of light tan carpet. (01/01/2009) By Branden RE: Removing Paint From Carpet Ok I have a new one to add to the list. LA's Totally Awesome found in Dollar General Stores. I had heard of using nail polish before but I didn't have enough to cover the stain I made. By the way, I learned the hard way to make sure the plastic is covering all areas. I had a bed sheet in place where I was missing plastic, spilled some paint. A friend told me about LA's Totally Awesome and I went out and bought some. Worked great! My stain was about 24 hours old, as I didn't realize the paint bled through the sheet. Hope its OK to post a website http://www.lastotallyawesome.com. It shows the bottle so you can see what it looks like. But again, I bought it at Dollar General for like $2. I don't know what's in this stuff because there is no chemical smell at all and it worked great. Mind you the paint I spilled was Valspar Red Velvet Cake! The instructions were to mix 5 cups of water to 1 cup of the product. It made a foam when I used the scrub brush, so I have to get a rag to wipe up the excess. But it worked (01/02/2009) By Ms T. RE: Removing Paint From Carpet I tried Dawn dish detergent and with a little elbow grease the black paint my husband got on our beige carpet came out. There are a few spots that were stubborn and I will finish it off with the nail polish remover tomorrow, when I can go get some. Thanks to whoever suggested Dawn dish detergent it worked wonders. I didn't think I would ever got the black paint up. (01/27/2009) By Megan RE: Removing Paint From Carpet Hot water that's it, plus a little bit of elbow grease.

(06/05/2007) By doityourselfer RE: Removing Paint From Carpet I have light color carpet and I spilled brown paint and it has gone hard. Any answer to how to get the stain out? (07/26/2007) By Dillon RE: Removing Paint From Carpet I work maintenance in the property management industry and have spilled latex paint several times on carpet. I swear by Simple Green. You spray it unconcentrated into the carpet and then scrub it with a brush. If its a small enough area you can just rub it out with the tip of your toe. You may need to clean your carpet afterwards but it works very well. (10/20/2007) By Steve C. RE: Removing Paint From Carpet I spilled a bit of paint about the size of a credit card in my baby's room. I just tried scrubbing, soaking, spraying with every cleaning solution I owned. I even went and got Goo Be Gone. I tried cutting it out with a razor blade! Nothing worked, at all. I poured nail polish remover and it took it right out! I actually cried, but I'm just emotional.
