How do I get HOT PINK fingernail polish off of TAN carpet?(No-polish remover does not work!)?

dang, that's a toughie.


If you already tried the polish remover, you may have carried the stain deep down into the base of the carpet.


You can try a professional strength oil based paint thinner, but it could ruin your carpet (at this point, I think it's damaged pretty good anyways, sorry). Dab the stain with a thinner soaked rag.


Don't rub, or you'll spread the stain. It's more of a dab and pat technique.


You can also try trimming the stain with a razor blade, or cutting a patch from under the sofa, for example.

A product called Goo Gone works pretty well in situations like this.How do I get HOT PINK fingernail polish off of TAN carpet?(No-polish remover does not work!)?
go to the hardware and ask them for some paint remover that is safe for carpets.
Try putting down a piece of wax paper and a towel over it. Use an iron to heat it. The polish should stick to the paper. It may not get all of it but it may help





Good luck
try tea tree oil....smells but is good for stuff like this...
I had my daughter spill Burgandy polish on our tan carpet and we hired a professional to come and clean it. They used Acetone. it's available in the hardware store and is what's in most polish remover. Took it right out and didn't even leave a hint of a stain. She said most oily and dye-type stains can be removed with Acetone, but you should Scotch-guard the area afterward.
go to WalMart and look on the aisle with the paint thinner, there is a product called OOPS it's made for things of that nature.
