- Continue washing the soiled fabric and bleaching with acetone until the paper towels are no longer stained with nail polish from the dirty fabric as this indicates the paint stain has been removed.
- Check the dirty fabric one last time for any remaining nail polish. If you still see some light paint, dip the cotton ball in the acetone and gently wipe it off with the cotton pad until it's completely clean.
Wash clothes. After you have removed the nail polish stain with the stain remover, wash your clothes / clothes according to label directions. The stain will completely disappear and you can re-wear the garment / garment immediately after drying it. advertisement
Method 2 of 3: Remove Nail Polish Stains from Upholstery
Wipe off the paint while still wet. If you see nail polish on upholstery while it is still wet, it's much easier to remove the stain. Use a tissue or cloth to remove as much nail polish as possible.
- Try not to stretch the nail polish out of the way; instead, use a paper towel to wipe it off quickly and decisively so the paint doesn't scrape around.
- Use a absorbent cloth or paper towel as possible to remove as much nail polish as possible, avoiding the paint seeping into the fabric.
Use acetone to apply to dirty fabric. Use a cotton swab or any other similar tool, allowing you to precisely apply the stain, dip it in acetone and then apply it to the stain. Note, only apply on areas with nail polish stains.- You can try this on nail polish stains that are relatively hidden first. Acetone reacts with some fabrics, including those that contain acetate or triacetate, and will make the fabric that is stained with nail polish worse if you're not careful.
- Do not pour acetone over the fabric stained with nail polish as it can be difficult to control which direction the acetone will spread without using a cotton swab or the corner of a tissue.
Use a clean cloth to blot the paint. Be sure to carefully blot the nail polish on the fabric and then use the clean part of the cloth to blot again. You can add more acetone and continue to absorb until the nail polish is gone.
Wash the contaminated fabric with warm water. Use a sponge to wash the affected area to remove traces of acetone or hydrogen peroxide. Then let the wrap dry completely before using it. advertisement
Method 3 of 3: Using Another Nail Polish Removal Method
Use hydrogen peroxide. Some fabrics do not respond well to acetone but do better with hydrogen peroxide when using the same method.
- Apply hydrogen peroxide to the affected area of the nail polish, using a clean washcloth to clean it. Repeat this movement until the paint is gone.
- Hydrogen peroxide acts as a bleach, so give it a try before applying it to the stain.
Use hairspray. Spray some hairspray onto the bristles of an old toothbrush, then scrub in a circular motion over the stain.
Use insect sprays. Some people say that mosquito repellents - the ones you still spray on your body and clothes against mosquitoes and other insects - work really well for nail polish remover. Spray a little on the bristles of an old toothbrush and gently scrub it in a circular motion to remove the streaks of nail polish.
Wash and wash. Whichever method you use, you will need to rinse the stain to remove traces of the detergent you have used. advertisement
Advice
- For precious or expensive items, you should bring them to a professional laundry before doing anything.
- Spray the hairspray on the tip of the cotton swab and the tea vigorously over the paint stain several times. The hairspray will help remove the nail polish stains as this will be able to separate the molecules.
- If one method doesn't work, try other methods until the nail polish is gone, as one of them will work. If the paint doesn't go away completely, take your item to professional laundry stores.
