How do you get acrylic paint out of a carpet?

Resolve doesn't work to well. I've tried it before. I think dish washing soap works better if the acrylic is still wet. Acrylic paint is very hard to get out once it's dried. There is a product I have used called Winsor & Newton Brush Cleaner and Restorer that can dissolve it a bit so you can get it out. You can find it in most art or craft stores. Put it on the stain and let it sit a bit then use soap. It will take some scrubbing. Fingernail polish remover can also dissolve the paint as well. Be careful that it won't dissolve your carpet. Test it out in an inconspicuous area first. That's the best I got. Hope it helps.
