i spilled red nail polish on my white carpet. besides calling a carpet cleaner & getting the carpet replaced, is there any carpet cleaner you know for a FACT works to remove nail polish? i tried nail polish remover and it helped a little but not all the way.

My dad just said you can buy it anywhere, check the hardwareish/heavy duty cleaning section of a store like Target or Home Depot.
Before you get it, try to pick as much of the dried polish out as possible; it'll be less to remove later.
It works SO well, but it's wicked potent. Make srue you open windows and ventilate the room until the smell is totally gone.

Scrub the area gently and then pour a little water over it. Use paper towels to get rid of excess moisture. Hopefully then it'll go away. If not, repeat as needed.
Also, you could use bleach. Bleach takes away the carpet, but since yours is white ... it wouldn't be a problem.
I hope one of these solutions will help! [ Aucunu's advice column | Ask Aucunu A Question ]
