Last night my mom spilled a pretty good amount of bright red nail polish on her sage color carpeting. I just had to share with everyone how to get the stain out…you need to blot any excess nail polish, then grab wd-40….spray all of the stain. this will spread the stain…using a washcloth and some elbow grease it will slowly disappear. i then used some baby powder to get the excess oil out of the carpet, vaccumed…then treated it with carpet cleaner-like resolve. i had one place that stilled showed slightly and i rubbed it with some goo gone-and it is gone! im not going to lie and say it only took me a few minutes it took some time rubbing the stain out then vaccuming and all this. not really a question but just had to share! I’m a nail tech and i think the reason why wd-40 worked so well is because nail polish doesn’t like oil-it can’t stick to oil-oh and the color of the carpet didn’t fade or anything!
i used a dry washcloth. i just had to let everyone know!!!!
