Is there any way to get latex paint out of the carpet?

Somehow when we were painting my son's bedroom we got a small amount of latex paint on the carpet. We realized it days later.





Is there any way to get it out or make the stain less noticeable?Is there any way to get latex paint out of the carpet?
You could make it less noticeable by putting the dresser there! Haha!





Seriously, though, there's plenty of products out there that will clean this up. Two of the best that I know (working in the paint industry) are Chomp Pro (Cleaner/Degreaser/Dried Paint Remover) and a paint/stain remover called Winning Colors (white plastic squeeze-top bottle). I've personally used both of these products on carpet and clothing and have experience no discoloration of the fabric and fantastic results in getting the paint out.





Good luck and congratulations on your baby! :) Is there any way to get latex paint out of the carpet?
Once it has dried it will be very difficult unless the areas are small. If that's the case take a blade and scrape it over the area to dislodge what you can, This might very well spoil the pile though. Do a bit at a time and see how it goes.
is it oil based or not? if not, get Varsol and soak it in a cloth and rub vigorously it will lift the paint out. If its oil based paint,. theres nothing really you can do,.. im still trying to find a solution to that. Hmmm .. I should make a question for that.
