Can I use a dehumidifier to reduce the gap between coats of emulsion or are there side effects from this?
Also, how can I remove some dry emulsion from carpet?

Thanks in advance.

How bad is it? Dry emulsion should just wash out.

Pre treat the carpet and leave it to soften the emulsion then use a carpet cleaner if you have one.

If not use some bio washing powder in luke warm water and dampen the emulsion then give it it a good wipe over and rinse with clean luke warm water. Try not to soak the carpet you only want it damp.

It’s not that bad but wanted to have a few tricks up my sleeve for when I clear up tomorrow
