there are a few ways of doing it so keep trying each way until its out.


water and hydrogen peroxide worked best for meHow do i get red nail polish out of my white carpet? HELP!!!?
Pour a generous amount of nail polish remover on the spot %26amp; blot carefully with clean paper towel. Repeat until the polish is gone. The blotting is very important!!!! Once the nail polish is removed, add more remover to the spot %26amp; blot, so you can get rid of the stain that the polish will leave.





If that doesn't work, go to the carpet store where your carpeting was purchased, %26amp; tell them about the nail polish accident. Ask if they have a white carpet sample, that matches your carpeting. If so, using a utility knife/box cutter, %26amp; cut a piece of the carpet sample, to match the size of the spot where the nail polish is. Then cut out the ruined section of carpeting, in a square, then fit the new piece in place. A carpet installer, will use seaming tape %26amp; a special iron, to secure the new piece of carpet. Depending on what he charges, you can glue it down yourself, or use a piece of double face tape, to keep the carpet piece in place.
I think I read to use a hair blower and warm it to get it softer and gentle work on it. But Im sure there will be some stain. So then need clean it.


Another idea : is to take a piece that fits size the bad one from closet ,if any. Cut away bad and fit snuggly new piece matching the nap direction. I did this on a lamp bulb burn, many years ago. The new piece will need glued in. If afraid tackel this then ask a carpet man if he can do it.
my kid got some on our white carpet. Get some CLEAR polish remover, acetone and wet the spot then use a clean cloth to press down on the spot to blot it up. Do not RUB.
What zocko and short stuff said, then when all thats left is a red satin, use dish soap to get the red stain out.
Call a professional. You may even be able to claim this accident on your insurance.
whatever you do dont rub it in anymore!!!
