Before you start cleaning process, test the fabric of your belt for colorfastness by applying a small amount of isopropyl alcohol onto an inconspicuous area of the belt. If the color of the fabric isn’t affected, then you can move on to the next step.
Dab a generous amount of solvent-based cleaner, such as hairspray, onto the nail polish stain. Allow product to sit for a few minutes before using a soft cloth or sponge to dab and scrub away the stain. Be sure to use gentle, circular motions while cleaning to avoid damaging the fabric.
Once the nail polish stain has been removed, it’s time to wash the belt. Fill a basin with warm water and add a squirt of mild laundry detergent. Submerge belt in the water and gently hand-wash the item. Be sure to rub the fabric in a circular motion to ensure that all traces of the nail polish are eliminated. Rinse the belt thoroughly in cold water to remove all residue from the detergent.
After washing and rinsing the belt, last step is to hang it up in a well-ventilated area to allow it to air-dry completely. Once the belt has dried, it should be good as new and free from any nail polish stains.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
