Will paint thinner ruin carpet?

Adam just called me and asked, and I have no idea.  If it will ruin it, anyone have a better method of getting paint out of carpet?

Re: Will paint thinner ruin carpet?

  • oh jeez- idk. What color is the carpet.  My first instinct would be yes.  But if its like a tan or something, maybe not.  I imagine if your carpet is colored it would like bleed it, but I really have no idea. Just talking out my butt.
  • As far as I know it wouldn't but I don't know much about paint thinner either.

    Wouldn't it be weird if you actually COULD talk out of your butt?  Not if everyone could do it, because then it would just be normal...but if only a handful of random, talented people could do it?  That would be a crazy party trick.

    Like Ace Ventura talking out your butt, or actually having a voice come out of your butt?

    hahaha i saw stu's question and i'm like she totally means voice out of butt lol

  • On a serious note ;)

     

    I THINK it might be ok. After my dad sprayed wood stain all over me and my favorite hoodie he suggested using paint thinner, BUT I didn't. Did you google already? If you use it I would probably put it on a cotton swab so you only use the bare minimum.

  • Turns out that it wasn't paint anyway.  He's remodeling someone's bathroom right now and apparently there is some sort of wax stuff that you have to use to make the toilet fit (I have no idea what's he talking about, but whatever) and he got it on his boot and then on the carpet.  His boss used paint thinner on it and he was just trying to find out if it was ok to use or not.  Google says for the most part that it's ok to use as long as it's not heavily concentrated and you wash it off with warm soapy water afterwards.
