Hope this helps Good Luck !

Any non-acetone finger nail polish remover will take that off and not hurt the carpet. Take a paper towel soak it down a little and wipe it off. Try to keep the area contained that you rub, at first it will look like you are smearing it around, just keep changing paper towels with a new one until stain is gone. You need to change your cloth several times so you're not sliding polish over a bigger area. When done a liquid dish soap will get the smell out of the carpet.



Spot Shot is another product I like to use. It's available at Home Depot Lowes Target Menards and most grocery stores in the laundry detergent asile I prefer the aerosol. Good Luck !

What you need to do with this stain is use a solvent type product. Since you don't have the professional stuff try using orange glo or even 409. The most important thing to do is rinse the stain with a wet vac to remove all the reside, or the spot may come back.

If you have fingernail polish try acetate. Blot the chemical onto the spot and then remove with a towel and repeat, keep on doing this until stain is gone or you stop getting colour transfer. Then rinse the stain with a wet vac and water to remove all the reside,

I would try what ladyvamp suggested. If it does not work, as long as it was an accident you can turn it into your homeowners insurance and get a replacement carpet. My cousin accidentally spilled bleach on her carpet and it was replaced under her homeowners policy.

its an enamel paint, allow it to dry and flake off what you can, if its a deep pile carpet trim the strands of pile to get rid of the painted fibers only .... if its a low pile carpet, use enamel thinner or nail polish remover to scrub off the remaining paint that you couldn't flake off the carpet
