Can this be used to remove dried paint spots off of the carpet?

I figured it would be iffy as this product is more or less like Goo-Gone; it removes sticky stuff. In my review, I also warned readers that when I attempted to remove a sticker from a lovely wall shelf, it took the finish completely off, so I feared it would ruin the carpet. However, I happened to have a piece of carpet. I sprayed a bit of red paint on it, let it dry and then tried Goof-Off. It did not damage the carpet but it did not remove the red paint at all. I would try rubbing some paint thinner on the spot with a stiff brush, followed by some soapy water on a sponge. This has worked for me in the past.

This product didn't do a very good job on paint. I use it on the stove top and oven and Fry Daddy to remove oil. A good paint stripper will remove the paint, but you better check and see if the carpet will take the stripper without damage.

I've never tried it on carpet but I imagine it would, it is pretty amazing what it can get out! I would maybe scrub it in and let it sit for a few minutes to break it up and then remove it with a warm rag or carpet cleaner.

Im sure it will remove the paint, but depending on area to be done it maybe time consuming.

It is meant to be used directly on stains. You can then go over it with the carpet cleaning machine which should contain the deep cleaning formula.

No it is not effective on older, set-in stains. I have a chihuahua and small yellow stains on my carpet and it did not get them out. It is also more time consuming than I thought.

You certainly can. I like this spot cleaner well enough, but it doesn't have the greatest suction. It's fine, if you don't mind letting things air dry, but if you do anticipate doing even a moderate amount of carpet cleaning, I would suggest this full-sized cleaner: Hoover F5914900 SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge

yes you can and it leaves a clean smell and removes all stain in your carpet.

Yes, use the Bio-Kleen Carpet & Rug Shampoo Concentrate. It does an excellent job removing spots and stains, and leaves a slight citrus scent after you are finished. Works very well, no chemicals.

I haven't tried it on wood but have used it on carpeting and it works better than products sold as carpet spot cleaners.

I don't know, but, Johnson and Johnson make a really good stain remover for carpet. It is sold at home depot and comes in an aerosol can. I bought a spray bottle for my insta gone; the one they supply is junk! Hope this helps.

I haven't tried it, so I don't know. there is a Stain Solver web site that lists all the stuff it cleans, and how to do it. I suggest you google it and look there. good luck

Absolutely, this carpet clean is great for dog accidents, and it won't harm your small Bissell Spot machine. After cleaning the spot spray with biokleen bac-out and let dry. The enzymes in Bac-out will work on any feces or urine that may have saturated into the carpet pads. Bac-out has a nice scent to humans, but animals don't seem to want to eliminate where it is sprayed.

Yes. It works very well on carpets; both for spot cleaning and daily vacuuming. After surgery, I could not handle the large vacuum, so this small one helped me keep things clean. It comes apart easily and works well as a dustbuster for spot cleaning. The crevice device is great for getting the carpet edges clean when vacuuming close to the wall.

I haven't tried it on carpet, but if you know where the "infected" areas are I'd say definitely as a spot cleaner.

I have used mine to spot clean carpet stains but not done the whole carpet. And, no, it cannot stand alone. I had mine fall from where I left it leaning on the wall and ended up cracking the handle ring. Hope this info helps you.

As we have done this on an off white carpet, the answer is yes. Use in steam carpet cleaner. Shake well and mix 1 part Mold KillerTM with two parts water. Our standard household carpeting turned out very clean. A good precaution is to first mix up a quart (1 part Mold KillerTM with two parts water) and test rub it in at a isolated or concealed location of your carpet. Jay

This worked great for me, with my pet spot Bissell machine, I had a red dye kitty dry food (vomited) stain. One time, with the set in stain option, took it right up-you'd never know it was there!
