Nail polish is known to stain various surfaces. Still, it's tempting to give yourself a manicure on the couch or a pedicure on the floor, where you can easily spill nail polish on these surfaces. Don't worry if you accidentally stain the carpet, a wooden surface, your sofa or any other surface. Chances are that you already have the solution to your problem at home.

To step

Method 1 of 5: Remove nail polish from walls

1. Start with rubbing alcohol. Pour a little rubbing alcohol onto the rough side of a sponge. Then immediately start scrubbing the nail polish stain, avoiding the paint around the stain. Make small circular motions when scrubbing.
2. Never rub the stain. Your first thought may be to grab a towel and rub off the excess nail polish. However, don't do this. This will only push the nail polish deeper into the carpet fibers and make the stain bigger. Instead, scrape off the polish with a plastic putty knife, spatula, or the edge of a knife. Then blot the area with a clean cloth.
3. Use steel wool to remove stubborn stains. Fine steel wool with a roughness of 0000 should be soft enough to remove the polish without damaging the wood. Just make sure to rub gently and rub in the direction of the grain of the wood.

Method 5 of 5: Remove nail polish from floors and tiles

1. Remove nail polish from your floor. To remove spilled nail polish from granite, grout, concrete, brick, sandstone, tile, and similar surfaces, you'll need a soft scrub brush and some cleaning products.
2. Remove the stain by scrubbing gently. Make a cleaning mixture of baking soda and water and use a soft scrub brush or sponge to remove the residue of the stain. When you are satisfied, clean the area again with warm water.

Warnings

• Do not use nail polish remover on wood. This will only make the problem worse. Even if you manage to remove the nail polish stain, the finish will be affected.
• Always test the agents you choose to use in a small, inconspicuous area on your clothing or carpet before using them to remove the stain.
