Help: How To Get Nail Polish Out of White Carpet ?!
Anyone have any great tips to get out an ENTIRE BOTTLE of blue nail polish out of white carpet?
My teen daughter would love some advice because after many spills and oopsies, if she doesn't get this 1 foot splash out by this week-end, she will be using her entire savings to pay for a professional to get it out.
This mama is NOT playing any more and will NOT BE falling for her sob story that her cat knocked it over and then magically she stepped on it, it broke, it cut her foot --so poor me syndrome-- and she managed to kick it --spinning it in a circumference that changes velocity and source location.
Yep, maybe I have watched too much Dexter and CSI, but nope this does not look close to a supposed closed bottle that fell to the carpet and only broke when she stepped on it. In that case, there would be a large puddle with maybe one slash.
Also, the cuts on her foot seem to look suspiciously self-inflicted to gain sympathy. However, we will leave that detective work for another time.
For now, she has a deadline to get this out.
Thoughts?

Have you tried straight acetone (available from the hardware store) lightly dabbed onto it with a clean white cloth. Let it sit a couple of minutes then dab at it with a series of other clean white cloths to lift the stain. Repeat until you can see all of the acrylic is gone.
Then wash the area with a little soap and water (don't saturate it) and let it dry completely.
A few days after that, if there's still color in the carpet, treat it like a paint stain. I wrote a big long entry about how to get dried paint and other stains out of carpet and included photos so you can see it DOES work.
And I'm with you: the foot wound was most likely a distraction. When my daughter spilled pink polish everywhere, she cut her bangs until they were less than 1/2 inch long so I'd be too busy freaking out about that to worry about the nail polish.
LOL. Kids.
