Fingernail Polish Spot & Stain Removal from Carpets and Rugs

Procedure from Bane-Clene®

Fingernail Polish Removal

  1. Fingernail polish is extremely difficult to totally remove.
  2. The goal should be to reduce it as much as possible without destroying the carpet or the backing.
  3. If only the fiber tips on a cut-pile carpet in a very small area are affected, snip the tips with the Duckbill Napping Shears.
  4. If the spill is extremely severe, you will probably need to patch or section ("cookie cutter") the affected area by removing it and replacing it with remnant from elsewhere.
  5. Otherwise, blot with acetone or fingernail polish remover until all the polish that you can remove is removed.
  6. Stain Magic™ with steam may be required to get rid of any remaining stain.
  7. Pro-Solve Gel and Pro-Solv Liquid are often effective in removing fingernail polish.
