Goof Off FG910 Paint Remover Carpet Cleaner Solution –, 12 oz. Spray

We recently had the walls on one floor of our house repainted. We told the contractor not to worry about the rugs since they were all being replaced. However, afterwards we decided to keep the rug in one room since it was newer and in better shape...but I forgot to tell the painters. Well, they did their painting without drop cloths and we ended up with significant paint drops, small spills and splatter on the carpet all around the border of the room. I was almost resigned to just having the rug replaced, but based on reviews thought I'd give this stuff a try. I was amazed. A couple of squirts followed by a couple of minutes followed by some mild scrubbing with a clean rag and the paint was gone. It took a couple hours to get do the whole room, but the rug looks great. It even took out a few older stains that weren't paint related. For those who say the quantity is small, the amount I used barely lowered the fluid content of the bottle--maybe if you were trying to clean a whole spilled paint can, you'd need a ton; but I found that just a little of this stuff goes a long way. And for those who found that it didn't work, I can easily believe that there are some things this won't work on, but please update your review once you found something that did work and tell us what it is.

Works great. I used it on dried latex paint and with a some rubbing it removed all of it. I didn't think the odor was very strong. I would purchase it again. The product did leak in transit.

Terrible do not buy

This was a year or two old stain of acrylic craft paint. When it was fresh it was wiped up as well as possible which made the remaining paint pretty deeply distributed in all the fibers. The before and after is not bad— it isn’t remotely as noticeable from a distance, and probably is adequately removed for aesthetics in a playroom. However, this was after using the whole bottle, with three separate soak/scrub/absorb what’s left sessions. First one was 3 minutes and scrubbed with an absorbent cloth as per the bottle, then I let it go longer and scrubbed with a brush before the cloth, then I let it sit even longer, scrubbed with my hands in rubber gloves, and wiped it up. This method, I think, was the best. It allowed me to scrub it well without simultaneously absorbing the product so it had longer to work. Poured a couple cups of water on and absorbed that into cloths, to rinse.I would say expect way more scrubbing than advertised. The front of the bottle says it works in one minute even though the instructions say 2-3. I think 5-10 minutes may be necessary for halfway decent results. And also, expect to use a large quantity of the cleaner even for a relatively small area. My paint stain was/is about 10-12” at its widest part. I had not expected to use the whole bottle.Would I buy again? Would probably try another brand first to see if results were more impressive. This may be as good as it gets though.

Didn't work so well with permanent marker removal

So we painted our upstairs room a deep forest green and during the cleanup got a tiny drop of paint on our hallway carpet. Without thinking we took a wet rag to it and created a bright turquoise blob that wouldn't come out.Looked at some reviews and ordered this spray. We spaced the sprays out over three days. I attached a day 1 picture (with a thing of floss next to the smudge so you can see the size we were working with), a day 2 picture where the color is visibly fading, and day 3 where it basically looks erased. We were honestly skeptical about whether or not this spray would work on such a bright color and are pleased to say it Does. Really easy to use, just rub it in with a microfiber cloth, do about two rounds, let it dry, repeat the next day, and on till the color is gone. Highly recommend!!

Actually works as promised

We are updating our floor at work and there are over 20 offices to paint - so lots of drips, marks everywhere as 5-6 guys move amongst the rooms to prep for next client. I was beside myself about cleaning up the dried paint but was so pleasantly surprised how well and fast this product works. tested in a small corner first to make sure it wouldn't bleach our office carpet but no damage and the paint lifted off with ease! SO GLAD I GOT THIS!
