How Do You Clean Up Acrylic Craft Paint From Carpet?
If you’ve got little kids and a collection of acrylic craft paints you could very well become the victim of toddler graffiti. If you can get to the mess before it dries on then you can get most, if not all, of the paint out of the carpet. Try not to scream. This may, in fact, be the hardest part of the ordeal. Take only a moment to assess the damage. Punishments will have to be doled out later. Time is of the essence. If the paint is still damp you have a chance of salvaging your carpet. Keep the paint wet. I’ve got a water spray bottle that comes in handy for a situation like this. If the mess is large enough (in the case of these pics he used a whole bottle of white paint) spraying the whole mess down liberally will assure that you can start in one corner and still get to the other without it drying up on you. You do not want to just mash the paint into the carpet. Doing this will cause the paint to dry underneath and create a hard spot in your carpet. Scrape up the biggest blobs wit
