Question: Can you remove paint from a carpet?

A customer rang me yesterday, desperately trying to save his carpet after spilling a whole can of emulsion paint over it. He spent two days with a Vax machine and loads of 1001 carpet detergent but the white paint was still visible. I'm glad to say that within two-and-a-half hours I had removed the stain despite the fact that it was already two days old, cleaned the rest of his carpet to match, and all for just £45. He was so pleased that he is going to get me back to do his stairs and he has also passed on my details to his Mum with a recommendation.
