I accidentally dropped my red nail polish on to my carpet… i tried using windex – it faded it a little bit- but i can still see it! anything else i can try? and i am going to have a carpet cleaner person come and clean my carpets so will they be able to get it all out? and could there be a reaction from mixing the windex with the carpet cleaner? PLEASE HELP!

    Use a good quality carpet steam cleaner for your carpet. A good steam cleaner can remove all kind of stains & smell from your carpet. I have also used a carpet steam cleaner for my carpet & I am really amazed to see its working & results.

    Nail polish remover. You have to use a lot until the polish is gone. Like a whole bottle

    The pro cleaner will probably use two products from Pro’s Choice, they are Power Gel, and Pro Solve Gel. They come in tooth paste type containers as they are a gel, the gel will not penetrate down into the carpet backing where a solvent can cause damage. After the gels have dissolved the nail polish, everything is rinsed out with hot water and extraction. This process even works on dry nail polish. Locate a pro near you at http://www.iicrc.org.

    Things You’ll Need:

    Nail Polish Remover (Acetone), Window/Glass Cleaner, Hair Spray, Shaving cream, Oxy Clean, Butter Knife (or similar shaped object) & Paper Towels.

    1. Take a deep breath! The nail polish stain can be removed from the carpet. First begin to lightly dab the Acetone Nail Polish remover on the stain with paper towels. (Make sure you test it on a small spot on your carpet first to be sure it doesn’t stain).

    2. Slowly dab up the nail polish stain using the nail polish remover and paper towels. If all of the stain does not come up try spraying hairspray and/or shaving cream on the nail polish. Use small amounts and gently scrub the stain out. I recommend using a scrubbing brush (such as one used to wash dishes) or a toothbrush to really get the stain out. You can also use the butter knife to try and work the stain out if it is beginning to dry. At this point you may also want to try spraying window or glass cleaner on the nail polish stain. This helped quite a bit in removing the stain on my carpet.

    3. Be sure to continue to use paper towels to soak up the nail polish stain from the carpet and make sure you do not get the carpet too wet.

    4. Once you remove the nail polish stain, allow the carpet to dry. If there is still light staining, try using Oxy Clean to get the last of it out.

    Tips & Warnings

    Be patient. It takes awhile to remove a nail polish stain from a carpet..Be Gentle. You do not want to work the stain into the carpet any more than it already is..The first product you try may not work. Keep trying until you see what works for you..Always test sections of your carpet with any item you decide to use to remove the nail polish stain. Do this in a closet or somewhere it will not be noticeable if it stains..If you cannot get the stain out, call a professional carpet cleaner. Better safe than sorry..Do not cut the carpet..

    Use pure acetone. Pour some on the spot, get a towel you don’t care about and BLOT not RUB the spot.
