If it's not synthetic latex, go to the store and look for a product called Goo Gone Power spray... It disolves latex paint, so I assume it will take the latex off of the carpet backing as well.

One way to do it is to using an alcohol soaked cloth to soften up the latex paint. Use a plastic scraper to get the excess paint off after it has softened, ( never a metal scraper as it will scratch the paint) and work in small areas at a time. Remove residue left with a soft cloth soaked in the alcohol. This will also remove the wax underneath but should not be strong enough to damage the topcoat.

Wash car and re wax.

This is also a trick for finding out whether a paint on a wall is latex or oil base. Alcohol will soften latex but will not effect an oil base product

It depends on how much there is. small spatters can be removed with Turtle #7 Compounding polish. Ammonia may also remove it. I have yet to see alcohol do anything to latex paint and I have been painting for 35 years.

You cannot remove the odor. The latex needs to cure. This may take years.

How do you get dried latex paint out of carpet?

Instead of regular "Goof Off" use "Goof Off 2". Goof off 2 is a water based cleaner where regular goof off is solvent based. Over use of solvents or failure to properly extract them will cause "delamination" breaking down the latex backing of the carpet causing the fibers to sepparate from the backing. try "goof off or goo gone" it's either at Home Depot, Lowes or a craft store like Michaels Denatured alcohol.

What was the first fabric used for carpet backing?

Woven carpet formed its own backing as it was made, so there was no secondary backing Tufting started in the 50's (pattented in the 40s) and it uses a Primary backing to tuft the yarn through & the a secondary backing is laminated to give it dimensional stablility. In the case of Tufted carpet (96% or total production today) both the Primary & secondary was Jute (think burlap bags, HEMP!) up through the mid 60s Today Both the primary & secondary are different weaves of Polyropylene..


How do you remove makeup carpet stains?

Remove the excess by scraping it away with a blunt knife or a spoon, if possible. Put isopropyl alcohol to a clean cotton cloth. Dab on the stain applying a downward pressure on the fibre, working from outside in. Never rub as this will just spread the stain. Then, blot the stain using a dry clean cloth or white paper towels. Repeat until you can't see any makeup being transferred. Be careful not to put too much as it can damage the latex glue of the carpet backing. Repeat process if needed. Rinse the carpet by blotting the area with a sponge (cold water) then blot dry. Speed dry using a fan. If stains persists, call your professional carpet cleaner as they would have chemicals that can remove most if not all the stain.

How do you get rid of the latex rubber smell out of a rug?

If your rug has latex, the rug is almost surely a hand tufted carpet. Due to the nature of these rugs, the latex construction is integral. It's practically impossible to remove the latex, especially considering it's pretty much holding your rug together. Also consider why the rug is releasing this odor- either it's brand new and just unwrapped, or the carpet is deteriorating. There's really not much you can do about the odor. However, there are things you may be able to do in order to reduce the odor coming from the rug. Remove the rug from an area with heated floors take the rug away from a light source which may be heating up the glue and releasing the smell use the rug in an entirely new area,
