How to Remove Paint from Carpet with Turpentine
Turpentine is a popular liquid for dissolving paint from many surfaces and also works to clean paint from carpet. This solvent breaks dried paint up from the carpet fibers, making it possible to clean away all of the stain.
Always test new cleaning products on an inconspicuous area of your carpet to check for colorfastness. Apply a small amount of turpentine or paint thinner to a clean white cloth and dab at the stain to loosen it.
Continue doing this with clean sections of the fabric until the stain is gone. Get a towel wet with warm water and a small amount of soap and clean the carpeting to remove all residue. Dry the area with a towel before walking on the carpet.
