So last night i was painting my nails and i got some nail polish on my carpet and i cant get it out. Please help.

Answer
You can usually remove spilled nail polish with scissors, but you have to wait until the polish is completely dry. Then 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. "Dissect" any clumps first by cutting them in half or thirds.

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

Also...cutting the nail polish works on shag or plush carpet, but not Berber or loopy carpet.

Good luck.

How do you remove nail polish from the carpet?

Q. My mom spilled nail polish on the carpet and can't get it out. Any suggestions?

Answer
I am sorry to break the news to you but you might have to get a Professional carpet cleaner. Also if it's a white carpet the nail polish remover. (It takes all the colour out of everything so only white carpet.) Hope it helps.

How do you get red finger nail polish out of carpet?

Help!! My Daughter spilled finger nail polish on her carpet. I need to get this out I am selling my house and would rather not replace the carpet.

Answer
Remove as much as possible using a dull knife or spoon. apply non-oily nail polish remover to a clean white cloth and gently rub ( one direction at a time) or blot at the spot. Do not allow nail polish remove to get to the latex backing.

To remove the nail polish remover: Apply a small amount of detergent solution ( 1/4 teaspoon of Dawn or Joy hand washing dish soap to 1 qt. water). Blot with a white paper towel to work the detergent into the affected area. Next, spray lightly with water, but instead of blotting, apply a pad of paper towels, weight them down with a book or brick until dry then brush the pile up.
If stain remains, moisten tufts of carpet with 3% hydrogen peroxide and let stand for 1 hour. blot and repat until carpet is stain free. Because light will change peroxide to water, there is no reason to rinse. Apply a pad of paper towels and weigh them down until dry. Then brush up the pile of the carpet.

How can I clean nail polish off carpeting?

Dog decided to try to do his nails, came home bottle of nail polish spilled on carpet. It's in three spots. Short of tearing up carpeting and replacing, would like to know if it can be cleaned with any cleaning agents.

Answer
100% pure acetone should work. Buy 3-5 bottles pour quite bit on the spot and dab it up(repeat as needed). It might take some time but eventually it will come up(depending on type of carpet). My son did the same to our living room carpet. I tried nail polish remover which after 20 min of scrubbing got 60% out. Then I tried the acetone(It is with the nail polish remover. Its just stronger and has no nail conditioner) it came right up in 5 min of blotting. Be careful this stuff will take the paint off your furniture. You may need to shampoo after for the smell.I cant even tell where the spot was on my carpet.It worked great.
