Follow these Steps to Remove Joint Compound from Carpet

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, is a wet mud-like mixture used to patch holes and seams in drywall. It dries to a hard mass.

1. If the joint compound is still wet, allow it to dry on the carpet before attempting to remove it.
2. Once dry, break it up by covering with newspaper or cloth and pulverizing the dried joint compound with a hammer.
3. Pick up loosened particles and vacuum.
4. Scrape up rest with a putty knife.
5. Repeat vacuuming.
