I can’t say I have actually lived through this mishap
myself, but one of my close friends has. I’m going to share her experience of
how she got black nail polish out of her light colored carpet, with you. I want
to first say don’t do your nails in a carpeted area, but if it’s too late for
that advice, hopefully this will help.
What you will need:
- Paper towels
- Shaving cream (Cream NOT gel, like this one.)
- Wet Vac
- Foaming window cleaner (Like this one.)
1. Use paper towel to soak up as much as possible. Blot DO
NOT rub!
2. Use a small amount of acetone on a paper towel and blot.
I don't suggest this because it could ruin the carpet fibers, but my friend did
do this.
3. Scrub with shaving cream (must be cream not gel). Scrub,
scrub, scrub.
4. Let sit for 20-30 minutes.
5. Clean with wet vacuum cleaner.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until it is practically gone (probably
3-4 times).
7. Spray foaming glass cleaner on anything that is still
deep down in the carpet and scrub hard.
8. One last go with the wet vac!
9. Don't do your nails near the carpet anymore!!
I hope this was helpful!
