For Latex Paint Stains

• 1). Dip a cloth in soapy water. How much dish soap versus how much water is up to the user. Scrub the stain, working from the outer edge to the center. Rinse the rag and repeat as many times as necessary. Once the area is dry, vacuum up any residual paint.
  
  
• 2). Make a mix of 1 gallon of warm water and 3 tbsp. of Oxy Clean. Dip a cloth into the solution and apply it to the stain. Blot with paper towels until the stain is gone.
  
  
• 3). Apply rubbing alcohol to a sponge and scrub the stain, adding more rubbing alcohol as needed.
  
  

For Acrylic Paint Stains

• 1). Mix one scoop of laundry detergent with a gallon of warm water and soak a cloth in it. Place the cloth on the stain for two hours. Vacuum once the area is dry. Repeat if necessary.
  
  
• 2). Apply WD-40 to the stain and scrub with a clean cloth until the stain is gone. WD-40 will come off the carpet a lot easier than paint will.
  
  
• 3). Apply nail-polish remover with acetone by pouring some on a clean cloth and blotting it on the stain. Rinse the area with water.
