If it's regular emulsion and you get to work while the paint is still dry, you're in with a chance - at least it's worth a try. Move fast - soak both the paint and a reasonable area all around it in lots of pretty warm water - really drench the carpet. Then scrub the whole wet patch vigorously with a chunky cloth or sponge (I used a brillo pad). You should see the paint dissolve. Little dry fleks you might be able to scrape off with a sharp knife.

Is there a Melaleuca product that can get paint out of carpet?
I use Melaleuca products and the Solumel works tremedously to get pain out of carpet. I have even used it as a paint stripper for some old door hardware that I needed to remove paint off of by submerging the pieces in the Solumel. To remove paint out of carpet, I took a cloth soaked with Solumel and let it sit on the spot until it had softened the dried paint to where I could remove it. You will have to make sure to keep the cloth wet while doing this; a sponge soaked in it may work too. I hope this helps you as it did me; I had to remove the dried paint from a brand new carpet that had just been laid!
