I spilled a little of Caribbean Forest Nail Polish on my parents carpet.


Its a light tan.


I heard that nail polish remover will work.

Removing nail polish from carpet can be tricky! But, it can be removed!


First, anything that contains acetone is going to be more potent! But, non-acetone nail polish remover works...just not as well! It's not recommended to use either for this purpose. Nail polish remover can make colors run in carpet, fabric etc... If you choose to use these products the nail polish is going to bleed further into the carpet and grow in size. The issue will be worse! If the nail polish is dry on the the surface of the carpet and not in the carpet fibers you can trim it out. Be careful!





If not, a carpet cleaning company can remove these types of stains. They use special solutions to break the chemical make-up of the nail polish down without bleeding into the carpet. Then they can extract the carpet area with special equipment. The most recommended way to do this is Hot Water Extraction. Hope this helps!
use non acetone and blot at it with clean, white paper towel...keep switching to a new paper towel as it soaks up the polish or it will keep smearing it around.





you can also try goo gone, or window cleaner, or white vinegar.
non-acetone and blot it with a clean white cloth in kinda a dabbing motion. Do not rub it. Keep using a clean part of the cloth every time you pull up some of the color.
