I was painting last night, and didn't remember to dump out my paint water. One of my long-handled brushes was left in it, and I tripped on it this morning, spilling the blue paint water all over my sand colored carpet. My parents haven't seen it (yet!), thank goodness. We rent, so the stain must come out or else we might not get the deposit back. Does anyone know how to get acrylic paint out of carpet? I tried Woolite High Traffic foam, I'm waiting to see if it works. Thanks in advance

Try Dawn dishwashing soap, that stuff takes the grease stains out of my work uniform. If that doesn't work maybe bakingsoda would work, I wish you luck with getting that stain out! I'll be sure to ask my friend who is a painting major if she has found anything that works well in getting acrylic paint out.

acrylic paint is water soluble so typo's ideas should work I think

There is a stain removal called "Zout"....IF you can find it GET IT. It is THE best stain removal product I've ever used. You can find it at Walgreens, WalMart, and some Targets in the fabric stain treatment aisles.
Aside from that, the Oxi Clean product (in powder form in tub) works very well...(follow instructions carefully), or in spray from..tho not AS effective.

Applying lotsa water with soap alone should take care of this, too. Lather, rinse with lotsa water...dab up what comes loose...repeat until it all comes out. It is a waterbased paint...so long as you delute it down, over n over...and repeating that cleaning process, it should all come out..just takes patience...and some effort. All should be fine.

Hope this helps.

I tried Dawn dish soap...worked pretty well despite the tiny blue stains where I didn't scrub it hard enough. But it's ok, I'll just put a rug over it Thanks for the help everyone!
