Cleaning up after renovation - removing emulsion and filler from carpet

[Sal99939]

Hi all,

Finishing off renovation and managed to get some matt emulsion, satin wood and wall filler on the carpet.

It isn't loads, just spots here and there, whats the best method to get rid of these?

Carpet is polypropylene.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Meths will soften paint. Try a patch first but I've not had any problems so far.

On my work trousers I use 0b1 paint remover in a spray can and it hasn't effected the colours so far. I've used on carpet tiles but never tried on normal carpet

Powdered filler try hot water. If that don't work then Bicarbonate of soda and water will dissolve but will take a couple of hours..

Water based paint brush cleaner for paint , any lumps of filler crush with hammer and vacuum .

WD40 works for gloss, ask me how I know! It was about 1/2 a litre

Thanks for the responses, I manged to get most of it up using some spot cleaner from world of clean, few faint patches remain but I guess they just need to be worked a little harder.

I had multi-solve to hand, tried that on the filler it didn't do much. Did find some silicone and used spot solve from world of clean on that and it came up with no issue.
