Answer 1

you will need
fine toothed metal nit comb
tissue
cotten balls
acetone
hair dryer
cloth
methyleted spirits

this is a time consuming and difficult task wrap the nit comb in tissue so the teeth are poking through (dont use a plastic one as the acetone will melt it) place the comb at an angle to the carpet and wedge it under the stain. dip a cotten ball in the acetone and rub it over the stain with the comb underneath the stain. work the stain row by row with a new cotten ball each time, acetone can affect carpet so make sure it dosnt penetrate the base, replace the tissue if it gets to wet, this process is slow and may need to be done a few times, if its an epoxy resin stain warm it with a hair dryer first, then dip a cloth in boiling water wring it and lay it over the stain and let it the cloth start to cool, then pinch and pull the cxloth a few times to remove as much resin as possible, do this a few times before doing it with the acetone and nit comb, use metho and water to remove the acetone smell, and sprinkle with bicarb to absorb the water and vacuumn when dry.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

You can try polish remover or rubbing alcohol,Oxly clean might work too. Or you can get a sample piece of carpet the same shade and style from a carpet store replace the spot that has been stained. By cutting it out and using carpet tape. That way no one will ever know. Good luck.

Here I have just the thing to help you with your dilemma, Spilled nail polish

Allow to almost dry, then peel off of waxed floors or tile.

Nail polish

Sponge with polish remover or banana oil. Wash. If stain remains, sponge with denatured alcohol to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Wash again. Do - not use polish remover on acetate or triacetate fabrics.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

This happened to me once, and it was bright red toenail polish, I made the mistake of pouring nail polish remover on it and made it worse, I found out the hard way was to treat it like you would candle grease, put a brown paper bag on the stain and rub your iron over it, do this several times with a clean paper bag and you will find that it comes out

good luck

Answer 5

This exact thing happened to me when I first moved into my place. I used Woolite with Oxyclean, while it was still wet. I scrubbed like crazy and ruined the nap but it came out and it was blood red polish on cream carpeting. I think it was the Oxyclean that did it.
