Fingernail Polish Removal Process

First of all, nail polish isn't as bad as it sounds, you just can't panic and do something that will damage the carpet long term. The first thing that you need to do is remove as much of the polish as possible while it is still wet. Hopefully you read this before it completely dries, but it is doubtful that you will. So the next thing to do is get as much of the nail polish off of the carpet as you can using just regular fingernail polish remover. However, us as little as possible because it is a very strong solvent and can damage the backing of the carpet if you over use it.

So here is the best technique for removing the dried on polish from the
carpet. Using a white cloth or rag, apply the polish remover to the rag. then using a soft rubbing motion work the carpet fibers in a small circular motion. You will need to reapply the polish remover quite a few times. as the polish starts to soften and break down, it will transfer to the rag. Don't be alarmed if it looks like it is starting to smear, we will take care of the stain in a minute. continue to work the fingernail polish out of the carpet until there is no more polish being removed by the rag. The main thing you are trying to accomplish is to remove the hardend polish, dried on polish from the carpet fibers. If you have to apply the polish remover directly to the carpet in order to get it removed, us it in small drops at a time and the blot it out with a rag quickly. This process can take a very long time, an hour or two isn't uncommon.

Once all of the actual nail polish is removed, there is most likely going to be a stain that remains which is the color of the fingernail polish itself. This is expected and now we can deal with the stain, but again make sure you have removed as much of the actual fingernail polish as possible before continuing onto the stain removal step.
If the fingernail polish was red (or any shade of red/pink) then all you will need to do to remove the stain or dye that is left is to order some of the Red Rtain Remover we sell and it will take out the red stain that is remaining. If the polish is any color besides red, then you will want to order the Magic Stain Remover instead. both products come with complete instructions on how to use and remove these types of stains.

We have done this exact same procedure many times and have had great result each time. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions please feel free to email or call. Have a great day, and remember don't panic.
