Remove Nail Polish Carpet

Step by step instructions for how to remove nail polish carpet.

Carpets see a lot of wear, tear, spots, and stains. One stain that we often see is nail polish. Learn how to get nail polish out of carpet with these easy steps.

Cotton or Wool Carpeting

1. Apply nail polish remover to a sponge or paper towel
2. Blot the area
3. Repeat this process until the nail polish is removed

If you’re working with dry nail polish, try to scrape away as much as you can. You can also grab a tweezer and try to pick out as much dried nail polish as possible. Then, start with step one above.

Synthetic Carpeting

1. Blot up excess nail polish
2. Call Woodard for further assistance

NEVER use nail polish remover to remove stains on synthetic carpeting. Synthetic carpeting is composed of machine-made fibers. There are four major types of synthetic fiber used in carpeting: nylon, polyester, polypropylene, and triexta.
