Old paint stain...help!

A couple of years ago I spilt quite a large quantity of sage green paint on my brown carpet, I managed to clean most of it up however you can still see some of the stain when the light hits it. It's an oldish carpet and we were planning on replacing it however we are now looking to move and don't want to spend unnecessary money replacing it if it can be cleaned. Can anyone recommend any products/tips for cleaning an old paint stain from a carpet please?

What sort of paint? Emulsion?

Yes sorry emulsion!

I’ve never had any success with dried emulsion. Sorry.

Just leave it, if the carpets are oldish, new owners will want to put their own flooring in anyway. Also, maybe you can see it because you know where the stain is, the buyers won't know to look for it...

@Jenjenn yeh you're probably right...I need to get it out my head that it needs to be perfect before I leave 😂😬
