Question:

What removes nail polish from carpet?

So last night i was painting my nails and i got some nail polish on my carpet and i cant get it out. Please help.

Answer:

This has happened to me quite a lot. What I used, was fantastik cleaner and sprayed the spot then I let it soaked in. then I left a paper towel over the spot to clear up the polish. If that doesn't work, you could try putting nail polish remover on a towel and soak up the area with that.
Acetone might, but then again, it might damage the carpet too. A pro can safely remove the stain without causing damage.
If you have nail polish remover or acetone Dip a cotton swab in either and roll it over stain Keep changing the swab as it lifts out Hopefully this will lift the polish out and not remove the colour in the carpet
You can usually remove spilled nail polish with scissors, but you have to wait until the polish is completely dry. Then 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. Dissect any clumps first by cutting them in half or thirds. 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.
