The lid wasn't screwed on all the way, and now there is a lump of it on the carpet..how can I get it out without ruining carpet!?
Wait until the nailpolish dries. Then get a bottle of nail polish remover and pour some of the remover onto a rag or paper towel. Lightly dab at the nail polish spot until it dissolves away. This may take many paper towels to get it all up.
Nail polish remover won't work...it will just work the nail polish deeper into the carpet. However, you can usually remove spilled nail polish with scissors. Often nail polish on carpet is just on the very tips of the fibers. If this is the case you can just snip the polish off with sharp scissors. Just cut the very tips of the fibers. Work slowly. Don't cut a single millimeter more than you have to and pull up while cutting. This will help prevent divots in the carpet. Try your best to do just one or two fibers at a time...not a whole clump. And dissect the spills first by cutting them in half or thirds, so that you separate clumps. This will work unless you have already used nail polish remover and have worked the nail polish into the carpet. Also...cutting the nail polish works on shag or plush carpet, but not Berber or loopy carpet. Good luck. -
Try nail polish remover -- it gets it off nails skin and phones! and removes sticker residue off windows and other surfaces also try carpet cleaner/stain remover. soak it and rub in circlular motion w/ rag. bleach if it's white carpet.
