By Diane H. from Louisville, TN Comment By AnneMichael Flag0What good information! Glad you posted it. Reply Tip: By Sandy F.3 FlagI hope this helps, I knocked over a container of nail polishes onto my light blue bedroom carpet.

Needless to say some of them broke, hot pinks, lime greens, etc. After I blotted up what I could with a napkin, I used a bottle of liquid hairspray, a brush, and after scrubbing a bit it came out in no time. Be generous with the hairspray, I literally poured it on. Any kind will do. Comment By melissa Flag0You've got my vote, thanks for the great suggestion!

Reply Question: By Maria0 FlagHow do I remove dry blue fingernail polish from tan carpet? By Maria from Salem, OR Answer By Jaime Flag0Best AnswerMy daughter spilled red nail polish on light blue carpet a couple years ago. We went to the store and bought acetone nail polish remover. I'd test an area before doing this.We poured the acetone on the spot (it was a big spot) or you could put it onto an old, clean rag. DAB it, don't rub it in. You will have to use a lot of rags. It took about an hour to get the entire stain out, but after the carpet dried, you couldn't tell anything had been spilled on it.

A whole bottle of nail polish remover, white spirit, window cleaner, you name it I tried it. It didn't work so I thought I'd look online to see if anyone could help. I saw the shaving foam idea and thought I'd give it a go, so I went and nicked my brothers. Soon as I put it on it started coming out. I did it 3 times, and the stain is gone. Thanks for the idea, I'm not gonna get killed now.

By Rommy from Bell Gardens, CAAnswers:Nail Polish on Carpet Way #1- Use Non acetone nail polish remover and hot water. Use the nail polish right on the spot.

Always keep the stain wet. Use small circular motions and scrub. Don't push too hard or you may find yourself with a larger spot than you started with. Then put the hot water on it and keep scrubbing. Be cautious, nail polish remover may take the color out of your carpet. Way#2- Follow the advice in #1, but instead, use nail polish remover, hydrogen peroxide, carpet cleaner, water, and hair spray and it might get it out. Way #3- Use a lot of water, keep the stain wet! Use about 15-20 squirts of hair spray and 3-5 splashes of rubbing alcohol. Scrub gently with a small scrub brush. Blot with paper towels. Don't forget to keep pouring water during the process. Way#4- Windex, nail polish remover, shaving cream, hairspray, and lots of water. It might make you sick from the fumes, but the key is persistence. Continue to scrub and scrub and add stuff and most should come out. Way#5 Use one tablespoon of ammonia and 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide.

It is available in a lot places including Wal-mart where they sell nail polish remover. My cat knocked a mirrored tray off my dresser once and it broke a bottle of nail polish when it landed. Nail polish remover helped, but the acetone did the trick. Of course, if you have a nice hardwood floor underneath, it may ruin the finish. My floors are just wood so I didn't care.
