Hi folks,

Does anyone know how to remove anti vandal paint from a carpet? Son's
'friend' climbed onto a roof to get a football back :-(


Your clock is running a day fast!


No, I'm testing my home made time machine. :-) I'm back now. Carpet is
still stained though.

No practical experience I'm afraid but think of anti vandal paint as regular
paint mixed with oil or grease to inhibit setting and you won't be far from
the truth. I'd remove the worst with a blunt knife and pulling with kitchen
roll, then again with a white spirit dampened cloth for paint element and
washing-up liquid for the grease element or perhaps carpet shampoo with
degreasing claims. Watch for bleaching with washing-up liquid on anything
other than a pure synthetic carpet.
