Removing Nail Polish From Carpet

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover
  • Plain White Kitchen Paper
  1. Step 1

    It is better to let the spill dry before you try to remove it as you may spread it around if you try remove it when still wet.

  2. Step 2

    Pour a little Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover to the centre of the stain and allow it to penetrate through the area for a a short while.

  3. Step 3

    Blot the stained area gently with the kitchen paper. Do not rub the stain. The Nail polish should begin to transfer onto the kitchen paper.

  4. Step 4

    Allow the stained area to dry thoroughly.

Tips & Warnings
  • Please note that this method may not be as effective if the spilled nail polish is a very dark colour.
  • If the stain will not come out you could replace the piece of your carpet with a remnant by simply cutting as small as possible area around the stain and replacing it with a fresh piece from the remnant.
  • Use Nail Polish Remover in a well ventilated area with all windows and doors open.
  • Wear a face mask if possible.
  • Keep Children and Pets away from the area during the treatment and until the area is dry.
