Tips:
Dry cleaning fluid can be purchased at a home supply store or a dry cleaners.
Always test the cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area of the carpet before applying them to a large area.
Use a white cloth rather than a colored one to prevent any dyes from coming off on the carpet.
As you blot, keep turning the cloth so that you are using a clean, dry section to pick up the stain and the cleaning fluids from the carpet. Don't rub.
If using a brush to help clean the stain, always brush from the outer edges of the spill inward to prevent the stain from spreading.
Warnings:
Do not use nail-polish remover as it may bleach the carpet.

it depends entirely on what kind of carpet it is. Try a little nail polish at an edge where it won't be noticed, if it doesn't melt the carpet, use it with a q-tip or cotton ball only on the polish, If not, I'm afraid you will have to find a new table to put over the spot. because its there to stay.

There is some stuff called "goof off" that you can buy at any hardware store. It will take it off. Nail polish remover will also work but it will fade the carpet.

Don't use nail polish remover! I did that once and it ate a hole in the carpet.

try acetone in a small area before applying all over. It is stronger than finger nail polish remover.
