Drop a small amount in an inconspicuous area and leave it to dry. If the fabric remains as is, then it is safe to remove it with the nail polish remover. If it is not an option, you can use hair spray. The drying agent of hairspray makes the nail polish easy to peel off. If nothing seems to work, you can always run down to your favorite cleaners.

Removing Nail Polish from Carpet

Carpet is prone to almost any stain imaginable – mud, wax, creams, food and so much more. Yet, nail polish is one of the hardest stains to remove from carpets. Nail polish will stick to the fiber in your carpet, creating a hard surface. Don’t worry though, there are ways to remove it. The first thing to consider is the color of your carpet. If the carpet is white or light colored, you can use non acetone based nail polish remover to wipe away the stain. If the carpet is dark colored then you have to be careful about disrupting the dye of the fabric. Nail polish remover will alter the color of the dye, so avoid using it. You can use hairspray on the stain and scrub it off with a sponge. Rubbing alcohol can also soften hard nail polish. You can soak the stain in it and use a small brush to remove it from the carpet. This may take a few tries before the stain is completely removed.
