Cleaning Paint Stains off Carpets with Fingernail Polish Remover
If you have a small spill of paint on your carpeting, consider using fingernail polish that contains acetone to remove paint stains from carpet, as well as to remove acrylic paint from clothing. This liquid is a solvent that lifts away stains from surfaces.
Pour a small amount of fingernail polish with acetone onto a cotton ball and dab at the paint spot. Discard the used cotton and repeat with fresh cotton balls until the stain is gone.
Wet a clean rag with hot water and a bit of dish soap and gently scrub away all polish and paint residue before drying it with a towel.
