Cleaning Up Paint Spills in Carpet, Part 4

Transcript:

For the last few days, we've talked about removing a paint spill from your carpet. Let's wrap it up with some final thoughts. I'm Dan Hansen and this is a minute at RepcoLite Paints sponsored by Benjamin Moore.

First off, if you missed any of this info, just check out our Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or TikTok pages to catch a quick video demonstrating the steps.

Alright . . . some last thoughts: If the waterbased paint has dried too much and clean water isn't cutting it, you can try hot water with a little ammonia mixed in. The water should be hot from the tap and make sure you ventilate well since you're using ammonia. That might help loosen up the paint. You could also try a steamer if you've got one. Hit the area with the steam and then continue to use your wet/dry vac to remove the excess water.

Whatever you do . . . make sure you are gentle with the carpet fibers. Don't scrub them or hit them too hard with the wet-dry vacuum nozzle because that can damage the twist. Alright. Again -- for much more info head to our social pages or go to repcolite.com. I'm Dan Hansen and that's a minute at RepcoLite.
