Instructions

    • 1

      Scoop the paint off the carpet with a spoon. Be careful when doing this so you don’t unnecessarily spread the paint.

    • 2

      Blot the paint spot with a rag until you can't lift it from the carpet. Switch to a clean part of the rag with each blot.

    • 3

      Wet a clean rag with warm, soapy water. Sponge the soapy water onto the stain, working from the outer edge of the spot toward the center. Blot with a dry rag to soak up moisture.

    • 4

      Continue sponging on the soapy water, then soaking it up with a dry rag until you can't lift the paint from the carpet anymore.
