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.

how do i get nail polish out of carpet?

Lilly Ston

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.

How do i get rid of a nail polish stain on my carpet?

i droped red nail polish on my carpet and i dont no how to get it out!..Please help!

Answer
Nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol.

Tip #1: Any non-acetone finger nail polish remover will take that off and not hurt the carpet. Take a paper towel soak it down a little and wipe it off. Try to keep the area contained that you rub, at first it will look like you are smearing it around, just keep changing paper towels with a new one until stain is gone. You need to change your cloth several times so you're not sliding polish over a bigger area. When done a liquid dish soap will get the smell out of the carpet.

Tip #2: I use the polish remover and blot, then GooGone works to remove the remaining stain.

Tip #3: When I spilt fuschia nail polish on my carpet I saturated it with non-acetone nail polish remover and scrubbed it with a white cloth. After the color stopped coming out on cloth (and it was still slightly pink on the carpet) I made a mixture of liguid dish soap, hot water and bleach and continued scrubbing until the nail polish came out (for white carpets only). If that doesn't work for you try using a fabric marker from a craft store and color over the stain.

Tip #4: I spilled dark purple nail polish on my light grey carpet. When I tried nail polish remover it didn't do a thing. Then a friend told me to try window cleaner and it worked great. I can't even tell it happened.
