Question:

What's the best way to get nail polish stains out of a carpet?

I've already tried carpet cleaner, nail polish remover, and bleach.Its black nail polish on a light beige carpet.Please help! Thanks.

Answer:

Sometimes you can just cut nail polish off carpet with scissors. Often the polish is just on the tips of the carpet fibers and you can just snip these right off. If you pull up while snipping, you're less likely to get a divot in the carpet. However, if you have used nail polish remover on the stain, it's possible you've worked the nail polish down into the carpet. If this is the case, I don't think there is much you can do to remove the nail polish. Good luck. -
Acetone okorder /
It may be too late. Straight acetone (not diluted nail polish remover) is the best thing.
Use Genesis 950 Concentrate. It is designed to actually break down stains. It works great. I had paint stains on my carpet for months. Nothing got it out, it only smeared the paint and made it worse. A friend told me to try the 950 and it got everything out. I was in shock. I would imagine if it can take up wall paint like it was nothing, then it would do the same for a nail polish. I might try it tonight just to see - that's how much confidence i have in my answer!!! It has cleaned up cat puke for me. Completely taken out cat urine from carpet. The stuff is amazing. It does everything. I spilled shattered an entire bottle of A1 Steak Sauce on my carpet. The 950 got it ALL. Try the pint size, but seriously, once you use this, you will never want any other cleaners. I even put it in the rug doctor when I clean my carpets.
keep trying NON ACETONE finger nail polish remover have you tried hydrogen peroxide?
