What You'll Need
- A clean, dry cloth
- Turpentine or white spirit
- Stain remover
Step 1: Blot Out Stain
The first step is to gently pat stain with a clean and dry cloth. This will help to absorb the excess nail polish and reduce the size of the blotch. Avoid rubbing the fabric too much, as it can cause further damage and even increase the size of the stain.
Step 2: Apply Turpentine or White Spirit
Once excess nail polish has been removed, it’s time to tackle stain itself. To do this, take a small amount of turpentine or white spirit and carefully apply onto stained area. Again, avoid rubbing too hard as this can cause damage and guarantee that you are cleaning in a well-ventilated area.
Step 3: Use a Stain Remover
If the nail polish stain isn’t completely eliminated, you can try using a commercial stain remover. However, always check label to make sure it is suitable for shearling and, if necessary, perform a patch test before applying it all over your garment.
