burgandy nail varnish on a cream carpet, help??
I have a really good book and this is what it says: Blot as much as possible with paper tissues. Apply non-oily nail varnish remover on a ball of cotton wool, testing at the edge of the carpet first, since the backing can be damaged if the solvent soaks through. Treat any remaining stains with methylated spirit on a white pad. Finally, apply carpet shampoo. This seems to apply to fresh stains but it's got to be worth a go. Hope you get the stain out
Window cleaner, of all things. It took black nail polish off my white carpet without a stain remaining.
buy a BIG bottle of nail polish remover and work it through until it is all out. It really is the ONLY way without replacing the carpet.
Go to home Depot. They sell pure Acetone (the stuff nail polish remover comes from.) Pour some on a rag and place the rag on top of the stain to soak for about 20 minutes or so, then come back and scrub, it may not get it all on the first try, make sure to use an absorbent cloth to get it up or else your carpet will be saturated. Hope it helps.
To remove nail polish from carpets, nail polish remover will work but you need to USE CAUTION because it can also remove dye from your carpet or upholstery. Also you can try bleach but only if you have a white carpet. On light colored carpet it might not be noticeable but on darker colors. TEST FIRST! Otherwise, a little nail polish will be the least of your worries. How about having to replace a whole roomful of carpet or trying to match the carpet color to dye one patch? For carpet, always test any kind of chemical stain remover/cleaner in an out of the way place like a corner. Under a cushion might be a good spot for upholstery.
