TIPS FOR REMOVING NAIL POLISH STAIN FROM YOUR CARPET - +971586333501
You’ve just saved money on a mani-pedi by painting your nails yourself then you went and spilt some nail polish on your expensive carpet :-(
Can you fix this yourself? Of course, you can!
Can we fix this for you? ABSOLUTELY YES!
First and foremost, do not panic! No matter which cleaning method you choose, be sure to test it out on a small, hidden corner of the carpet or rug. If the rug becomes discoloured or you notice the rug’s colouring rubbing off on the cleaning cloth, switch up your solution selection.
• Gently blot away any excess nail polish with a paper towel, taking extra care not to smudge the existing stain or spread the polish to a larger area.
• Trusty pantry staples like vinegar and baking soda have been known to help in these cases. If you're giving vinegar a try, wet the stained area thoroughly with plain vinegar, and then place a vinegar-soaked paper towel on top of the area. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then gently blot, and scrub the stain until it is removed.
• If you're attempting the baking soda method, sprinkle enough baking soda on the area to cover the stain thoroughly. Then, pour ginger ale on top of the area and let it soak for about 10 minutes. Scrub gently until the stain is removed, and then "rinse" the area with water or a wet cloth.
• A small amount of nail polish remover can also be very effective, especially on white or light carpets, but make sure the bottle you use is labelled both non-acetone and dye-free. Soak a portion of a cleaning cloth or paper towel with the remover, gently dab the stain and take care not to smear the stain to previously untouched areas. Repeat until you see an improvement. (Psst: Act fast! Polish remover works best on fresh stains that have not yet dried completely.)
• If your carpet is darker, use even more caution, as sometimes nail polish remover can alter darker rug dyes more dramatically than white or neutral shades. If you're worried about unwanted marks, opt for an alternate cleaning solution, like rubbing alcohol, hairspray, or dish soap.
