How to get dried white paint off a carpet?
When I was remodeling my bedroom, I failed to put a drop cloth down and ended leaving white paint to dry on the carpet. I rent my house, so I'm sure the landlord will not be happy to see that. Is there any magical solution to get the paint off?
I don’t know I need help

My pleasure...You're so sweet, I hope it works for you!
If it's a high pile carpet you can snip off the ends that have paint and will be barely noticeable. Otherwise use Krud Kutter Found at lowes and home depot. Use tooth brush to loosen the paint and spray with Krud Kutter use a fine-tooth-comb and it should come out. It's my go to product for everything clothing tile and grout lines showered ealls and doors, cabinets , furniture everything!

Scrape off as much of the paint as you can and then if the carpet has a nap, try gently trimming the area.

Hello,
If the paint has not penetrated the pile deeply -I agree -get some tiny manicure scissors and trim it out.
