How do you get nail varnish off bed sheets (cotton)?

Question

My little boy has tried to paint his nails with red nail varnish but spilt it over my white bed sheets. Please help!

Answer 1

I think you better give these sheets as a present to your wee boy now. I am sure he will pute them to a great use, like a ghost costume, indoors tent , a flying rug etc ;-)
But he has to promise not to paint his nails where something might get damaged again .

Answer 2

Try and remove the excess and soak the sheet in white spirit overnight then try scrubbing it out in the morning with a hard brush. Then soak it again and then put it in the washing machine with a stain remover, you are going to need lots of patience and scrubbing it might be easier to buy a new one- good luck.

Answer 3

Since the sheets will be ruined anyway if you do nothing, you
have nothing to lose by trying to remove it with nail-polish remover. Start with a small area first and see how it goes.

Answer 4

you can use white spirits or your own nail varnish remover, or you can freeze it off, with a couple of ice cubes in a plastic bag rub over the stain then scrape off with a blunt knife

Answer 5

vinegar or nail varnish remover

Answer 6

try soaking the affected area in remover, then put through machine when stain has lifted
