Gather Supplies You'll Need

Before you start removing stain, make sure you have all of the supplies you need. This includes a bowl or small container, a soft cloth (such as a microfiber cloth), soap, warm water, rubbing alcohol, and a toothbrush.

Soak the Jewelry

If you have a precious jewelry like diamonds, gold, silver, or other gemstones, your best bet is to soak it in a bowl of warm soapy water for about 10 minutes. Make sure the bowl is shallow enough for jewelry to be completely submerged in water. If you don't have the time to let the jewelry soak, you can also swish it around in the soapy water for a few seconds.

Scrub the Jewelry

After soaking or swishing the jewelry in soapy water, use a soft cloth or a toothbrush to gently scrub the stained area. Don't be too rough as this can damage the jewelry. Focus on the stained area until the nail polish starts to come off.

Rinse Jewelry

When nail polish has been removed, rinse the jewelry thoroughly in clean warm water. Make sure to remove any remaining soap residue. Allow the jewelry to dry before moving on to the next step.

Polish the Jewelry

Finally, use a soft cloth or microfiber cloth to polish the jewelry. This will help to restore its shine and luster. You may also want to use a jewelry cleaner if the jewelry is still not as shiny as you'd like it to be.

Conclusion

Removing nail polish stains from jewelry doesn't have to be a daunting task. With these tips and tricks, you can easily and effectively clean jewelry stained with nail polish.
