I have a new discovery that will take care of the pastel mess on the carpet. And it only cost a dollar. Yes I have been to the Dollar Tree again! It is called LA's Totally Awesome Cleaner (as seen on TV) and I was skeptical. Would it live up to it's name?

| Awesome Cleaner to the Rescue! The results after only one treatment, after the second treatment the stains were completely gone! |
I read about this cleaner on a facebook thread on cleaning up oil paint messes. This cleaner was recommended and I thought if it worked for dried oil paint it should work for pastel! I even tried it on an old black acrylic paint stain on my carpet and it just melted the paint. The carpet was fine. Totally Awesome!
TIP: When cleaning up a pastel mess always vacuum with the hose to get up most of the dust. You want to get as much of the loose pigment up as you can otherwise you just turn it into more paint when you wet it. Suck up the dust first then treat the remaining stain.

I've admired your beautiful art for years now. I love your colors and shapes. Clouds are fun to create! I try to do some fun things with my clouds as well. ~Karen Fields
Glad to know there's something that gets pigment out of carpets.
I'd probably get rid of the carpet if I owned what I live in, but that's me. I prefer rugs that can be thrown in the wash and I'd have a special one around the painting area. The really colorful one, something like the jeans I wore to sell paintings. People see it, they know, yeah, there's a little of everything I ever did on that rug and that's all right.
Of course I haven't had many pastels skitter that far either, your carpet may save a lot of your collection.
