how do you get nail polish out of a carpet?




Health Nut





Answer
Try nail polish remover (acetone) on a small inconspicuous area of the same carpet to check that it doesn't damage the fibres or affect the colour. If it seems OK, then go ahead and use it to remove the spillage, on a tissue or cotton wool pad. Be gentle and patient. If the remover test shows that it would damage the carpet, your best option is probably to cut out the nail polish-covered fibres with small, sharp scissors, very carefully so as not to cut out any more of the pile than is absolutely necessary, a magnifying glass might be useful.

PS If you are not the owner of the carpet, then confess and let the owner decide what to do, don't risk making things worse.

so i spilled nail polish on my car[et and i have no idea how to get it out? there is fresh nail polish and nail polish that is almost a year old. i have tried nail polish remover but it doesn't really work. do you know any good tricks or house hold items that could work to get it out?


Answer
Often nail polish on carpet is just on the very tips of the fibers. If this is the case you can just snip the polish off with sharp scissors.

Just cut the very tips of the fibers. Work slowly. Don't cut a single millimeter more than you have to and pull up while cutting. This will help prevent divots in the carpet. Try your best to do just one or two fibers at a time...not a whole clump.

This will work unless you have used nail polish remover and have worked the nail polish deeper into the carpet.

Good luck.
