Removing Nail Polish Stains From Carpet

Below is a video suggesting several ways to remove nail polish stains from carpet.

Nail polish stains are some of the most difficult types of stains to remove from carpet, because the products generally most effective for removing the stains can also harm your carpet.

The video below suggests using hydrogen peroxide, a paste of baking soda and water, a stain remover formulated to remove nail polish, or non-acetone based nail polish remover to get out these stains from your carpet.

Although the video suggests using only non-acetone nail polish stain remover, Stain-Removal-101.com suggests using acetone for nail polish stain removal.

It is true, however, that acetone can damage or harm your carpet fibers so first do a patch test in an inconspicuous area to make sure it will not harm your carpet before proceeding if you use an acetone based remover.

The same is true, of course, of non-acetone based nail polish remover too, so apply the same precautions with it also.
