Question:

Paint+Carpeting...?

Is there any easy and/or quick ways to get paint out of carpeting? We painted a bedroom this last weekend, but some paint leaked through the sheets and is on the floor now. Any ideas?

Answer:

If it's latex paint there are products that will remove paint from carpet safely. Go to where you bought the paint see what they recomend. Goof Off will loosen latex paint, but try some in a corner or under some furniture to see how it efects the carpet.
depending on color of carpet use opps off use in closet or hidden place also lemon juice works opps off can be bought at home depot
I don't know of any product that will remove paint that has dried already. But they say the rug doctor that you can rent, will get out tough stains
If the carpeting is not made of loops and is long enough, you may be able to carefully trim off the tops of the carpet fibers if none of the cleaning solutions work. Good luck!
If it's latex, once it's dry, that's it as far as I know. My friend once spilled bleach on her carpets--she called a carpet place and they came out, matched her carpeting to some remnants they had, cut the bad parts out and put the remnants in, seamed it up and you couldnt even tell!
