Once the caulk dries, it is the same as trying to remove glue from the carpet or rug.
Things You Will Need
-
Spray the caulk with WD-40 to loosen the caulk's hold on the carpet fibers. Allow the WD-40 to sit for 15 minutes or so.
-
Scrape up the caulk with a razor blade. Try to avoid cutting at the carpet fibers themselves.
-
Apply more WD-40 to the carpet to remoisten areas of the caulk you didn't remove. After another 15 minutes, scrape off the rest of the caulk.
-
Pour carpet cleaner on a sponge, and rub it into the area you just cleaned with WD-40. Remove all residue of the product because it can be dangerous to animals and young children. Work the carpet cleaner into the area, and allow it to soak for a few minutes.
-
Wipe the area clean with a damp cloth, and allow it to dry.
