Start by using a white, soft cloth and rubbing alcohol to blot the stain. Rubbing alcohol works as a solvent that is strong enough to break down the nail polish but won't harm fabric. When cloth becomes saturated, switch to a clean one, and continue until the stain has been removed.
Once the majority of nail polish has been removed, combine equal parts dish soap, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda into a paste. Then, use a sponge or cloth to apply paste to the area with the remaining stain. Let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing the garment in cold water. If the stain still lingers, repeat process until it disappears.
After the nail polish is completely gone, use a gentle laundry detergent to wash the garment in cold water. Once the laundry is done, hang or lay it flat to dry. If you opted to put the lingerie in the dryer, make sure heat setting is on low.
By following these easy steps, you'll be able to remove stubborn nail polish stains from your lingerie in no time!
