Great tip!! I was desperate since we are going to put the house up for sale and we recently painted the house and of course paint got on the carpet (a lot of paint) and was going to resort to getting new carpet put in because I had no idea what else to do! Thanks again you have saved me from spending pointlessly!!

I am now going to attempt the spill of purple paint I found on our carpet on Easter. My niece was over the day before and went downstairs to look for something of hers and either ‘forgot’ to tell me she accidentally knocked over a cup full of house paint or didn’t know she did it, then didn’t pick it up, or wipe it up. Now, I have an inch thick pile of paint dried on my 1 year old carpet (in a room we just had redone and haven’t gotten the opportunity to even use yet)! I was so upset that I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and decided to not even talk about it until today because it was already dry and I didn’t want to ruin our family time. But now, it must be dealt with, so I am praying that some of your solutions work, because the other ones I’ve come across I know wouldn’t cut it! Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

It’s so hard to maintain it clean and in good shape when you have a cat or a dog…

At some point, a carpet is simply so old that it makes more sense to replace it than try to fix it.

Perhaps someday when I have a house with carpet that is worth caring about I can use these tricks
