How to get paint out of carpet
Blot the paint with laundry detergent.
Use a wet rag to wet the spot first. Make sure this is a rag you're ready to throw away once you're finished; otherwise you'll need to wash it thoroughly.
Add no more than a tablespoon (15ml) of laundry detergent to your rag and blot the area. Don't scrub the spill into the carpet, just blot it away.
