Nail Polish Carpet Stain Removal Tips

Below is a video showing nail polish carpet stain removal tips.

I really like this video a lot, because it visually shows basically the same techniques already described by Stain-Removal-101.com for nail polish stain removal from carpet.

The basic steps include:

1. Blot up as much of the nail polish as possible.

Try to deal with the nail polish stain before it dries.

However, if the stain is already dry wet the nail polish stain with a spray of water, and then use a plastic knife to scrape away as much of the polish as possible.

2. Wet a cotton ball with nail polish remover, and blot onto the stain on the carpet.

Hint: If the nail polish remover contains acetone you should first test it in an inconspicuous part of your carpet, to make sure the acetone does not harm or discolor your carpet fibers.

3. Hopefully the stain is now gone, and either way the next step is to blot at place the nail polish stain was on the carpet with a solution of dishwashing liquid and water, which will help get rid of the nail polish remover in the carpet.

4. If the stain is still visible you can next blot at the stain with a cotton ball dipped in 3% hydrogen peroxide.

Hint: Again, test this first in an inconspicuous part of your carpet because hydrogen peroxide can bleach some carpets.
