4 hours old, over 1/2 gallon blue latex paint. Olefin berber.
How would have you handled this?

I most likely would not be cleaning it. My price would be really close to replacement cost. CTI's prosolve gel (I think that is what it called) agitate and rinse with high heat.

if "only" 4 hours old, it hasn't fully cured yet.

Try hitting with some high heat first to soften it. I've been able to rinse out fresh paint without the need of a lot of chem. Prosolve is a good product, a citrus gel of any type should work fine. If by chance you had any remaining blue left you can mix up some red relief and go to it with a steemer or iron and wet towel.

This is how it ended up. Used some JJ, Scotts Citrus, and powergel. Sprayed heavy, scrubbed with Whittaker for 10mins then rinse. Did it again. I used a peroxide "bomb" on the remaining but it did not work much. Rinsed with water and water claw. I would have liked to get it all but that last little bit would not come out.

No bad for as bad as it was, my first instinct would have been for them to call their insurance and replace it, but it actually looks pretty good!
What did you charge them?

"If"....it is 100% olefin... :?:
You can post-spray it with a 30% bleach...mixture.... :shock:
This will reduce or remove the "remaining" pigment in the paint... 8)
Spray bottle,upholstery tool..."Mist & extract"...Until you get the results you want... !gotcha!
ps..POST SPRAY...after cleaning with "White Vinegar"....It will "neutralize the bleach..!!!
