How to Remove Nail Polish from Clothing
If you have nail polish in your house, undoubtedly it has been spilled on something. I have tried so many tricks and tips for removing nail polish from clothing, and nothing worked, until I tried BUG SPRAY!!! Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
-
-
1
Test a small, hidden area of the fabric to ensure it is color fast.
-
2
Saturate the polish with bug spray (I use Deep Woods Off, but anything similar will work).
-
-
3
Gently work the spray into the fabric using a soft toothbrush or a rag, using more bug spray as necessary. The paint base will begin to "gum" up into clumps. Keep working bug spray into the stain until all the paint is gone. Rinse well with water.
-
4
Apply stain remover to the remaining stain, as the bug spray may only remove the paint base, not the color. Work the stain remover into the stain until all the color is gone.
-
5
Wash item separately to prevent the transfer of bug spray to other clothing.

Tips & Warnings
My daughter spilled blue window paint all over her bedroom carpet, and the bug spray worked to remove this paint too.
Work in a well ventilated area.

I didn't know that. Wear a mask. That bug spray is pretty harmful to respiratory system.
