How do I get finger nail polish out of fabric?

Question

I have a smudge of nail polish on my shirt..UGH! Anyone have a remedy to get it out?

Answer 1

Things You’ll Need:

Bug Spray

Stain Remover

Toothbrush or wash cloth

Water

Step1

Test a small, hidden area of the fabric to ensure it is color fast.

Step2

Saturate the polish with bug spray (I use Deep Woods Off, but anything similar will work).

Step3

Gently work the spray into the fabric using a soft toothbrush or a rag, using more bug spray as necessary. The paint base will begin to “gum” up into clumps. Keep working bug spray into the stain until all the paint is gone. Rinse well with water.

Step4

Apply stain remover to the remaining stain, as the bug spray may only remove the paint base, not the color. Work the stain remover into the stain until all the color is gone.

Step5

Wash item separately to prevent the transfer of bug spray to other clothing.

Work in a well ventilated area.

Answer 2

try rubbing some methylated spirits or some euacalyptus oil  

Answer 3

All of the above removers will help somewhat, but nothing will get it out completely.  Go to the dollar story and get some iron on decals to cover up the spot.

Answer 4

I don't like your chances.  Maybe you could sew a little decorative something over the mark.  Some beads or ribbon or whatever takes your fancy!

Answer 5

if it's only a little bit try diluting some nail varnish remover and scrub with a soft brush it should come off (don't do it on a delicate fabric)
