When you pull out the nail polish to do a manicure on your teen's nails or touch up your pedicure you want to be careful. If you are not mindful the polish can drip off the brush and onto your carpet. You also may paint an impatient child’s nails that will drag them on your carpets. The nail polish is meant to act very similar to paint and it will cause staining and spots on your carpet. You want to make sure you use as much caution as possible when you have nail polish out. You also need to be prepared to treat the spill or the stain when it happens. If you make a mistake it can cause the nail polish to spread out and make the area much worse. Ameribest Carpet Cleaning outlines what you can do to get nail polish out of your carpet.
The first thing you want to do is make sure the paint is not able to spread any further. That means you need to do what you can to get as much of the paint off the carpet before you start to clean. The best way to do that is to use a spoon and carefully scoop as much of the polish up as you can. You want to do what you can to get the excess off and not spread it out any further. This is a very important part of the cleaning process and should be done with care. The polish will usually stay in one spot unless it is agitated. That is why it does not normally spread unless you cause it to.
When you are ready to try and clean the nail polish off the carpet and that means that you need the right method. There are few options that you can try but many people use the same product you use to get the polish off your nails. You want to use an acetone free remover on a cotton ball to work on the spot. Be sure to work from the outside to the inside to not spread the stain further. You can use a fresh cotton ball as often as you need and as it starts to pull the stain out. If you do not have nail polish remover you can also use hairspray to treat the spot. The alcohol in the hairspray is able to get through the paint and allow you the chance to work it out with a clean cloth.
After you have done the work to remove the stain from the carpet you want to make sure that the area is cleaned. The products that you use to get nail polish out can cause the floor to be sticky. It is best to use warm water and dish soap on a cloth to clean the area. This will ensure that all the products are cleaned out.
