How to Remove Paint from Your Carpet In Utah

Small Spills Small spills like paint splatter can take place quickly and are difficult to prevent. Even if you tried to protect the carpet, drops of paint can sometimes make their way onto unprotected areas. If you have only spilled a drop or two of paint on the carpet, there is a simple way to clean it. 

The best thing to do is to let the drop dry and then use a razor blade to remove the single fiber of the carpet that is affected. This will prevent any other areas from being impacted by the paint during the cleaning process. 

For a small spill that consists of more than one drop, you will want to first absorb as much of the wet paint as possible. Do not rub the area because this will only make it worse. After that, use a spot remover that is indicated for the type of paint you are using. Follow all directions as indicated on the cleaning agent. 

Remember to test the spot remover on an inconspicuous area of carpet prior to use. If the cleaning agent is successful at removing all of the stain, be sure to rinse the area with water and dry completely. You can use dry towels to help remove the excess moisture. 

Large Spills If you are unfortunate enough to suffer a large spill such as a tipped paint bucket, you will need to know what to do in order to remove paint from your carpet. Immediate action is required if you want to save your carpet.
