How to Get Nail Polish out of Carpet

It can seem hopeless but with some time you can get a nail polish stain out of the carpet and next time you are painting your nails put down a towel or don't do it on the carpet.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• 100% Acetone
• Old towels or rags that you can throw out after
• soap and water

1. Test a small area of carpet to make sure the acetone won't melt it. (you can find 100% pure acetone at a beauty supply store, its basically strong nail polish remover)
2. Once you're sure it won't ruin your carpet soak the stained area with the acetone.
3. Put a towel over the area and press straight down on it as hard as you can. You can set something heavy on it for a few minutes if you want.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until stain is gone. It may take more than one bottle of acetone to remove depending on how dark the polish is and how much is on the carpet.
5. After the polish is gone clean the area with soap and water to remove the acetone. Set a towel over the area with weight on top to force out the moisture.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't rub the stain, this will just spread it around.
• Ventilate the area, acetone has pretty strong fumes.
