In two steps, this guide gives you all the information needed on how to save your carpet. So let us get started!
Remove fresh nail polish
If the nail polish is still moist, try to minimise the damage of your stain immediately. Gently wipe up moist nail polish with a dry, white cloth or non-dyed absorbent paper. Be careful not to rub as this might increase the damaged area. Instead, the stain should be blotted off.
In case the nail polish has already dried up in a thick layer you should gently tear off nail polish flakes with your fingers, if possible.
Use acetone
Dab the nail polish stain using a cloth dipped in acetone. Once again, be careful not to smear out the colour. Repeat this process until the stain is gone.
Be aware: Acetone is highly inflammable. Do not inhale the fumes.
