How to remove dried paint from carpet?

[Andrew Shofer]

Hello everyone, 

I recently had an unfortunate incident where our contractor (who seemed to be doing a great job for the past 4 months since we started working together) had his men do some touch up painting and not use a drop cloth. They left lots of small flecks of paint and chips of old paint around the unit. They were able to clean up all of the stuff that was able to be vacuumed but now there is still a decent amount of paint damage to the carpet and other surfaces only in the areas they were doing touch ups. Is there a good solution to get the paint out of the carpet? Is there a service you would recommend? Unfortunately the contractor themselves was unable to adequately clean up their mess so we are looking into working with someone else to remedy the situation. Thanks for any and all advice!

I had paint stains on a carpet.  I called a local carpet cleaning company and luckily they were able to get it out.  Usually the steam loosens up the paint. Try that out
