Step-by-Step Guide for Removing Nail Polish Stains from Ties
1. As soon as possible, spray a small amount of hairspray directly onto the nail polish stain. Allow the hairspray to sit on the tie for a few minutes before blotting it with a dry cloth.
2. If the nail polish stain is still there, mix two teaspoons of non-bleach laundry detergent with two cups of warm water. Dip a cloth into detergent solution and gently dab stain.
3. Rinse the tie off with cool water and gently blot it with a paper towel. Allow it to air dry.
4. If the stain is still there, dampen a cloth with nail polish remover and gently dab the stain. Make sure to use a non-acetone nail polish remover to avoid damaging the tie.
5. Rinse off the tie with cool water and blot it with a paper towel. Allow it to air dry completely.
