How To Remove Dry
Paint From Carpet
|
When you do the painting of your home in interior, then you
don’t to want to have any kind of paints marks on your
carpet. To have this result you take all kind of
precautionary measures and you get success also in reduction
of paint marks, but then also at some places wet pain
manages to reach to your carpet. After that it gets dried
and you find it almost impossible to remove the dry paint
from your carpet. Here, I wouldn’t say it is an impossible
task but I would agree it is not easy to do the carpet
cleaning once you get some dry paint stain on it.
But as I said carpet cleaning is not impossible and if you
can follow these simple steps, then you can effectively
remove all the stains of dry pain from your carpet with
minimum efforts and in least possible time.
Collect essential material for cleaning:
Before you start your carpet cleaning process, it is
suggested you collect all the essential equipments that you
will to remove the dry paint from your carpet surface.
Taking about these things that you will need to remove the
dry paint stain from your carpet, you will need to use a
good quality adhesive remover solution, some paint thinner,
stiff scrub brush, fresh white towels, hot water and iron.
If you do not get any paint thinner, then you can use some
nail polish remove also for your carpet cleaning work. Other
than this you will need to use some ammonia as well, but
that is a optional and if you don’t want to use it, then you
can skip that method.
Test the chemicals:
Adhesive remover solution and paint thinner contain some
strong chemicals that can affect your carpet in a negative
manner. So before you use it for removal of dry paint from
your carpet, it is a good idea that you taste it at a place
which is not visible at all. When you find such spot on your
carpet, then spray some adhesive remover solution at that
place and leave it like for that one hour. If you do not see
any sign of discoloration or damage, then you can go apply
some paint thinner or nail polish remover on the same place
and you can wait for another hour. If you see no damage
there then you can try the same with ammonia and then you
can go ahead for the cleaning process. If you find some
damage at third stage then you can skip ammonia, and if you
find damage at initial two stages then you will have to try
some other cleaning agent that goes well with your carpet.
Spray the adhesive remover:
Once you have this assurance that adhesive remove and paint
thinner are safe for your carpet then you can spray some
adhesive remove solution for your carpet cleaning. When you
spray it then make sure you apply it to only those places
where you have dry paint stains and you leave the other
places intact. This solution will reduce the strength of
dried paint from your carpet and you will be able to remove
the dry paint stains easily from your carpet.
Scrub it with putty knife: Now you need to take the putty
knife and you can scrub the dries paint from your carpet
surface. When you do this scrubbing then make sure you scrub
it gently so you don’t damage your carpet in carpet cleaning
process. Also, when you do this scrubbing then it is
essential that you scrub it only from upper part because if
you will try to scrub it from base, then you might damage
the carpet with that force. At this stage you can use some
blade or knife as well, but you need to use that wisely
because a slight mistake can damage your carpet or it can
hurt you badly.
Use paint thinner:
After you scrub the dry paint stain from your carpet, then
you can use paint thinner or nail polish remover to remove
the remaining paint marks. At this time stage you can take a
small brush and you can apply the paint thinner on those
places where you have dry paint stains on your carpet. With
this step you will get almost clean carpet and you will be
able to complete the carpet cleaning in one more step.
However, this method will work well only for oil based paint
and if you have water based paint on your carpet then you
will have to follow the next step also.
Use hot water:
To remove water based dry paint from your carpet you will
have to use some hot water instead of paint thinner. At this
stage you need to remember that your slight mistake can
worsen the situation. That’s why it is essential that when
you use hot water then you hold all other work that you have
in your hand. Talking about the carpet cleaning method at
this stage, you need to spray some really hot water on your
carpet surface and once it is wait you can use a white towel
to soak to color.
You can try this method for some time unless you see no
paint marks on your carpet:
Use ammonia to remove reaming stains:
Until this time you can have a clean carpet, but if you
still see some dry paint stains on your carpet, then you can
use hot water, ammonia and brush to remove those stains. Now
make a mixture of 1 cup hot water and 2 tablespoon of
ammonia and spray it on your carpet. After that you need to
wait for sometime then you can use a stiff brush to remove
the stain from your carpet.
Use iron on it:
This is the last step that you may need to do the carpet
cleaning. At this stage you can simply put a clean white
cloth on your carpe then you can keep the iron on it in a
constant motion. In this process you need to change your
cloths constantly and very soon you will have a carpet that
will have no sign of dry pain on it. |
