Removing the Stain
Start the process by wetting area of t-shirt with cold water. This will help to dilute the nail polish and make it easier to scrub away. If the stain is still visible, you can try to blot it out with a damp piece of cloth. Just be sure to use a light color cloth since dark colors can transfer onto the t-shirt.
If blotting the stain doesn't do the trick, you can try using a few common household items. Begin by combining equal parts of vinegar and warm water in a bowl. Next, dip a clean cloth into the solution and gently scrub on the stain until it begins to fade away. If that doesn't work, try using rubbing alcohol. Soak a cotton swab into a small amount of rubbing alcohol and dab on the stain until it is gone.
Cleaning the Stain
Once the stain has been removed, you'll want to use a detergent to clean area. Be sure to use a mild soap or detergent that won't damage the fabric or discolor the t-shirt. Try scrubbing the stain with a combination of detergent and cold water for a few minutes before rinsing it off thoroughly with cold water.
After cleaning, lay t-shirt flat to dry. You can also try placing the t-shirt in the shade to prevent any fading or discoloration. If the stain is still visible after cleaning and drying, you can try repeating the above process or use a product specifically designed to remove nail polish stains.
