I spilled red acrylic paint on my cream carpet, and on trying to clean it up have only made it spread. ( Yeh, it was silly D: ) Now my carpet has a huge great pink stain in it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of it please?
Use FOLEX carpet cleaner. It's a heavy duty carpet cleaner. Then after that, go over it with a regular carpet cleaner (like the actual machine) then, if it doesn't come out after that call a professional carpet cleaning company like Stanley Steamer.
only chance is either acetic acid (vineger) or acetone (nail polish remover) it will either work or it won't. If neither works the paint isn't coming out.
Soak a cleaning rag in water. Make sure that the rag is thoroughly saturated. Do not use hot water, but use room temperature tap water or cool water. Lay the rag on top of the stain. Press the soaking rag onto the stain. The paint will lift out of the carpet and onto the rag. You may need to rinse and repeat this several times to get all the paint out. Resist the urge to scrub until the paint is faded to completely gone. Let the carpet dry. This may take several hours. You will probably need to vacuum to restore the nap, which may be flattened because of the soaking and pressing.
