What You'll Need
- Nail polish remover (acetone)
- A soft cloth
- Dishwashing liquid
Instructions
- Dab the stained area with a cloth saturated in nail polish remover.
- Let it sit until the stain lifts. If necessary, repeat this step.
- Wash item in a solution of dishwashing liquid and warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
- To be sure the stain is completely gone, apply 1-2 drops of dishwashing liquid directly on stain. Using a clean cloth, dab at the area and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing.
- Repeat these steps until the stain has completely lifted.
Additional Tips
- If the nail polish is still wet, use a paper towel to absorb as much of it as possible.
- For a more natural approach, apply a mixture of 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the stain. Let it sit for 15 minutes before washing the item as usual.
- Be sure to read the care instructions for the item and never use a bleach-based cleaner on the fabric.
