Help! Emulsion paint on man-made carpet!


Just realised that I have got some emulsion paint on my living room carpet. Hadn't noticed it when it was fresh, but now its well hard and dried on.

Has anyone got any ideas for removing it, apart from shaving the tufts off with a razor!
:hello: :wave: please play nicely children !

    You could try a brush cleaner. There's also a product called 'Oops' that's supposed to be good. Or you could contact your insurance company and leave them to deal with it.

    Brushcleaner is very good, but if it has dried in, the best thing for you to do is to get an old bit of sandpaper, and sand over the paint quite gently, and this will remove the dried paint.
  • A good stiff brush should help along with scrapping with the plastic nozzle on your vacuum cleaner!
