nail polish on carpet,how do i remove it?

Answer 1

OOPs if it is a small area could you cut it out and get the same size from another area and glue itdown making sure you keep it in the same direction

Answer 2

Tip #1: 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.

Tip #2: I use the polish remover and blot, then GooGone works to remove the remaining stain.

Tip #3: When I spilt fuschia nail polish on my carpet I saturated it with non-acetone nail polish remover and scrubbed it with a white cloth. After the color stopped coming out on cloth (and it was still slightly pink on the carpet) I made a mixture of liguid dish soap, hot water and bleach and continued scrubbing until the nail polish came out (for white carpets only). If that doesn't work for you try using a fabric marker from a craft store and color over the stain.

Tip #4: I spilled dark purple nail polish on my light grey carpet. When I tried nail polish remover it didn't do a thing. Then a friend told me to try window cleaner and it worked great. I can't even tell it happened.

Tip #5: Tried the window cleaner on the nail polish on the carpet and it worked a treat. The nail polish remover made the carpet turn pink...Barbara

Tip #6: My 2- and 4-year-old grandsons gave me a "manicure and pedicure" for Mother's Day, and ...wouldn't you know it? Some polish ended up on the carpet. Go figure. Well, nan's don't complain. Inside I panicked. I had no nail polish remover, and no carpet cleaner. I tried vinegar on it, just blotting it, not rubbing, as instructed by my most recent professional carpet cleaners. You won't believe how completely clean it came! Did I mention that it was BLACK NAIL POLISH? I thought my carpet was finished! Now, if only I could think of how to...ahem... deal with my nails...Loretta

Answer 3

Nail polish is hard and forms a seal so do take care.

test a small hidden area before using nail polish remover as it can also take the colour out of some dyes and can smear the polish even further

IF its OK, break the seal of the nail polish with a serrated knife edge, with great care of course before using the acetate ( n/p remover )

Answer 4

well you could use nail polish remover providing its a dark carpet or a light colour of nail polish but then you will have to put vinegar on the carpet to get rid of the acetone smell... also turps works but it stinks so I wouldn't try it unless you were really desperate and able to explain the smell of turps in your house lol... xgood luckx

Answer 5

Nail polish is usually acetone based. So acetone is the best chemical to remove it with Tricky one! You could try amyl acetate from the chemist. It depends how valuble the carpet is!

Answer 6

we used for the some problem nail polish remover and then just used paper towels (wet/ dry) to clean further.

It is fine now.

Good luck
