Tips on Removing Oil or Water Based Paint Stains
- If the paint is still wet, dilute the affected area with mineral turpentine.
- Soak up and reapply until paint is all gone. Note that too much turpentine will damage the carpet backing.
- If the paint is dry, apply a mild methylated spirits solvent to the affected area.
- Soak up and repeat so long as there is improvement.
