Carpet cleaning to remove nail polish can be a very simple process if done properly. Just follow the steps outlined below and your carpet problem will be quickly resolved. Above all, do not throw up your hands and assume the worst when nail polish lands on your carpet. Accidents happen and when it comes to removing the polish, it's really as simple as 1-2-3 and you're done!
First of all, what do you use to remove nail polish from your nails? You're right! Absolutely. Nail polish remover will do the same job on your carpet. In addition to the remover you will need one or more dry cotton terry towels. White is best because you'll be able to see the colour of the polish very easily as it transfers on to your towel.
Before applying the remover, it's recommended that you test your carpet in an inconspicuous area first. There is a possibility, however slight, that the nail polish remover may affect the dye in your carpet causing loss of colour. To test for this, apply a little remover to a dry corner of one of your towels. Then press it into contact with your carpet.
Choose a spot in a corner or underneath the leading edge of your sofa, or some other inconspicuous spot. Remove your towel after a few seconds and see if the colour of the carpet has transferred to your towel. If not, the remover is safe to use. Otherwise, you are best to call in a professional carpet cleaner to discuss your options.
Once the test shows you can proceed, apply some remover to a corner of your towel. Being very careful to work from the outside to the inside of the spot, alternate between gently blotting and agitating. Check your towel frequently so you know that the colour of the nail polish is being removed to your towel. Change to a clean portion of your towel each time before repeating the process. Continue to apply more remover to your towel and repeat the blotting until all the stain has been absorbed into your towel(s).
Occasionally, it isn't possible to remove 100% of the stain from the carpet. In that case you may want to consult the advice of a professional carpet cleaner to discuss other options. In future, be sure to use nail polish with utmost caution. It's best to avoid applying nail polish to your nails in a carpeted area. Nail polish dripped on a hard surface is generally much easier to deal with.
